In the past, radial velocity variations have been reported, but this remains unconfirmed.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} The star does not show any significant photometric variations and is used as a ubvy standard star.[30] A debris disk of warm dust around this star has been detected by Spitzer Space Telescope.[31]
Sigma Andromedae is a candidate for membership in the stream of stars associated with the Ursa Major Moving Group. This is a set of stars that share a common motion through space, which suggests they originated together.[11]
