The primary, designated component A, is a K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2/3 III.[4] The measured angular diameter of this star is {{Val|1.00|0.01|u=mas}},[21] which, at the estimated distance of this system, yields a physical size of about 14 times the radius of the Sun.[12] The star is radiating 92[13] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,183 K.[11] Its companion, component B, is an A-type star about 0.9 magnitudes fainter than the primary.[4]
