This is an F-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of F0 IV,[3] having, at the age of 614[7] million years, used up the hydrogen at its core and begun the process of evolving into a giant star. It has 1.49[7] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 19[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,344 K.[7] The star displays a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 148 km/s.[6]
