This is an old, evolved K-type star with an age of about 10.7 billion years.[12] Keenan and McNeil (1989) classified it as {{nowrap|K0 IIIb Fe−1.5 CH0.5}},[5] indicating it is a giant star showing a deficiency of iron and an excess of cyanogen in its atmosphere. However, Gray et al. (2006) listed it as {{nowrap|K1 IV Fe−0.5}},[4] which would suggest a less evolved subgiant star. It may be a red clump star, which indicates it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[28]
The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is {{Val|2.63|0.04|u=mas}}.[29] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 10 times the radius of the Sun.[14] It has only 94%[12] of the Sun's mass and is radiating 46[12] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,660 K.[16]
