This is an ageing supergiant star with a stellar classification of G3Ib.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 61 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.[9] The star is radiating 1,641 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,753 K.
