This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of G8.5 III.[3] It is reported as a RS CVn variable with magnitude varying by 0.02 mag.[5] and showing a high level of chromospheric activity.[14] The star has 2.54 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 9.20 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 51.4 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,099 K.[8]
