[ yielding a distance estimate of around 175 light years. The visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of {{Val|0.07|0.02}} due to interstellar dust. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −17 km/s.[6]]This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of {{Convert|941|day|year|abbr=off|order=flip}} and a high eccentricity of 0.713.[11] The visible component has a stellar classification of G8 IIIa,[4] indicating it is an evolved G-type giant star. It is a probable red clump star, which would mean it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[21] The star has 2.5 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to more than 8 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 48 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,032 K.[6]
The secondary is most likely a low mass main sequence star with no more than 0.4 times the mass of the Sun.[11]
