2 Vulpeculae is a double-lined spectroscopic binary;[11] as of 2002, the pair had an angular separation of 1.72″ along a position angle of 127.2°.[12]

The primary component of the binary is a rapidly rotating Be star[13] with a stellar classification of B1 IV.[4] It is a variable star with an amplitude of 0.06 magnitude and a period of 0.6096 days, tentatively classified as Beta Cephei variable.[5] The variability was discovered in 1959,[14] and it has been assigned the variable star designation ES Vulpeculae.[5]
