This is an Am star[4] or metallic-line star with a stellar classification of F0V,[3] indicating it is a F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy by core hydrogen fusion. It is an estimated 467[5] million years old and has 1.62[5] times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 21 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,737 K.[5]
