[ the star is located around 330 light years from the Sun. It is moving further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +3 km/s.[7]]This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M4.5 IIIa.[4] It is a pulsating variable with multiple periods, including 20.6, 24.1, 24.5, and 32.3 days. The strongest period is 33.3 days with an amplitude of 0.043 magnitude.[19] It has a magnitude 9.71 visual companion at an angular separation of 60.4 arc seconds along a position angle of 210°, as of 2013.[20]
