This is a normal B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B5V,[3] which means it is generating energy via core hydrogen fusion. The star is around 11[4] million years old with 5.4[4] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 268 km/s.[6] It is radiating 233[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,540 K.[5]
