The brighter component is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III.[4] The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is {{Val|4.27|0.05|u=mas}}.[20] At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 31.5 times the radius of the Sun.[13] It has 1.67 times the mass of the Sun and radiates 309 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,135 K.[12] The star is about three billion years old.[12]
