This is a suspected chemically peculiar star[10][6] star with a stellar classification of B9 III,[3] although Adelman et al. (2004) consider it to be a normal star with near-solar elemental abundances.[11] It is relatively sharp-lined[11] with a projected rotational velocity of 25 km/s.[7] The star is radiating 318 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,200 K.[6]
