This star is estimated to be 350[5] million years old with a negligible rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 0.69 km/s.[3] It has a little more than 3[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 16[5] times the Sun's radius. 64 And is radiating 136[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarger photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,944 [5]
