The stellar classification of this object is B2 IV/V,[2] matching a massive B-type star with a luminosity class displaying mixed traits of a main sequence and a subgiant star. It is 13[5] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 124 km/s.[4] The star has 7.9[5] times the mass of the Sun and 3.7[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 1,884[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 21,411 K.[6]
