This is an aging supergiant star with a stellar classification of G3Ib.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 62[1] times the radius of the Sun. It has an abnormally high rate of rotation for its evolutionary state, showing a projected rotational velocity of 21.4 km/s.[7] The star is radiating 1,641 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,652 K.[1]
