This is a red giant star with a stellar classification of M1 III, having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. The star is radiating 1,509 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,111 K. It has several visual companions: component B, of magnitude 13.7 and angular separation of {{Val|26|ul=arcsecond}}, C, of magnitude 9.21 and separation 78.8{{pprime}}, and D, of magnitude 10.84 and separation from C of 1.3{{pprime}}.{{cite journal | bibcode=2001AJ....122.3466M | doi=10.1086/323920 | title=The 2001 US Naval Observatory Double Star CD-ROM.
