This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K1III,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to 19 times the Sun's radius.[1] It is four[8] billion years old with 1.11[5] times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 132[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,458 K.[1]
