The brighter member of this system, designated component Aa, has visual magnitude 4.83 with a stellar classification of B9III,[4] matching a late B-type star with the luminosity class of a giant. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 60 km/s,[8] and is radiating 541[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,403 K.[7]
The fainter secondary, component Ab, is of magnitude 8.86 with an angular separation of 0.50″ along a position angle of 288° from the primary, as of 2005. Visual companions include component B, at a 70.7″ separation from the primary and magnitude 10.73; C, at a separation from B of 3.2″ and magnitude 12.4; as well as D (separation from A of 42.8″ and magnitude 11.9) and E (separation from A of 58.3" and magnitude 11.9).[3]
