The visual magnitude 5.08 primary, component A, is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0III.[4] With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has cooled and expanded to 11 times the Sun's radius.[1] It is radiating 64 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,903 K.[1] The secondary companion, component B, has a visual magnitude of 8.02 and is located at an angular separation of 0.30″ along a position angle of 207° from the primary, as of 2015.[6]
