[ it is located around 146 light years from the Sun. Its proper motion is propelling it across the sky at the rate of 0.176 arc seconds per year.[23]]This is a K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2 III:,[4] where the semi-colon indicates some uncertainty about its spectral value. It is considered metal-rich[16] star and is past the first dredge-up phase of its post-main sequence evolution, although it shows under-abundances of carbon and oxygen in its spectrum.[15] The star has 1.25[4] times the mass of the Sun and is an estimated 6.48[4] billion years old. It is radiating 48[4] times the solar luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,413 K.[4]
