This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 3.8 years and an eccentricity of 0.35. The primary, component A, is a white-hued A-type giant star with a stellar classification of A0 III.[3] It is a magnetic Ap star with a field strength of 846×10−4 T, showing abundance peculiarities in strontium, chromium and mercury.[7] The star has 2.8 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 93 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,250 K.[7]
