This object is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] As a result of having exhausted the hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 27[1] times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 203[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,120 K.[1]
