As of 2008, the pair had an angular separation of 12.7″.[3] The brighter member, designated component A, is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K5III.[4] It is reported as a semi-regular variable with magnitude ranging from 4.68 to 4.72 over 141 days,[6] although the General Catalogue of Variable Stars describes this as unconfirmed by subsequent observations.[7] It has the variable star designation CI Orionis, while 31 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation. The magnitude 10.2 companion star, component B, is an F-type main-sequence star with a class of F7V.[3]
