HD 29559 has a stellar classification of A5 IV-V[4] — a luminosity class intermediate between a main sequence star and subgiant. It has alternatively been classified as A3 Vs:,[12] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star with sharp (narrow) absorption lines due to slow rotation. However, there is uncertainty behind the class.
It has 2.19 times the mass of the Sun[3] and a slightly enlarged diameter of 3.17 R☉.[7] It radiates at 35 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,852 K,[3] which gives it a white hue. Contrary to the second classification, HD 29559 spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 176 km/s[9] and has a solar metallicity.[8] It is estimated to be 719 million years old,[8] having completed 85.9% of its main sequence lifetime.[3]
