HD 22676 has a stellar classification of G8 III,[4] which indicates that is an evolved late G-type giant star currently on the horizontal branch, specifically the red clump region.[3] At an age of 700 million years,[8] it has expanded to 9.33 times the radius of the Sun. It has 2.36[8] times the Sun's mass and radiates at approximately 58[10] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,109[11] K, which gives it a yellow glow. HD 22676 is slightly metal enriched with an iron abundance 115%[11] that of the Sun and spins lesuirely with a projected rotational velocity of 3.6 km/s.[12]
