It is a spectral class F9.5 main sequence star with an apparent magnitude of +4.23.

[7] Based upon parallax measurements by the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is approximately 28.0 light years from Earth.

The solar-like qualities make it a target of interest for investigating the possible existence of a life-bearing planet.

[15] Based upon an excess emission of infrared radiation at 70 micrometres, this system is believed to have a debris disk.

It is radiating with a maximum temperature of 218 K.[12] As of 2009, no planet has been discovered in orbit around this star.
