The two components of this system form a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 2,437.8 days and an eccentricity of 0.06.[6] The primary component is a K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2 III.[3] This is a candidate mild Barium star with the slight overabundance most likely acquired through accretion from what is now a white dwarf companion.[8] The primary has an estimated 1.83[3] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 14 times the Sun's radius.[4] The effective temperature of the outer atmosphere is 4,560 K, from whence it radiates 79 times the solar luminosity.[4] It has a leisurely projected rotational velocity of 3.8[4] km/s and is around two billion years old.[3]
