This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 293 days and an eccentricity of 0.15.[7] The visible member, component A, has a stellar classification of B2 IV-V,[3][4] matching a B-type star with a luminosity class that displays mixed traits of a main sequence star and a subgiant. It is a suspected Beta Cephei variable[14] or a slowly pulsating B star.[15] The star has nine[8] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 741 times the Sun's luminosity[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 19,953 K.[9]
