The stellar classification of this star is A7 IV,[3] matching a subgiant star. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 105 km/s.[8] The star is about 600[9] million years old and is radiating 15[1] times the Sun's luminosity. It has 1.9[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.4[1] times the Sun's radius.
