This is a hot B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V.[3] It is around 103[8] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 248 km/s or perhaps higher.[7] The star has six[4] times the mass of the Sun and about four[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating more than a thousand[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 20,350 K.[6]
A magnitude 10.13 visual companion is located at an angular separation of 74″ along a position angle of 162°.[11]
