[ mas yields a distance estimate of 87.7 light years. It is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +26 km/s.[7]]This is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F2 V.[4] It is an estimated 660[12] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 113 km/s.[17] The star has 1.47[12] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating nearly 10[11] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 7,187 K.[12]
16 Librae has a common proper motion companion located at an angular separation of 22.8 arc seconds along a position angle of 297°, as of 1999. Designated component B, this is a red dwarf star with a class of about M6 and an infrared J-band magnitude of 12.19.[29]
