The primary component is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G6V,[3] indicating it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. It is an estimated three[2] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.3 km/s.[2] It is a metal-rich star – what astronomers term the abundance of elements of higher atomic number than helium – which may explain the star's unusually high luminosity for its class.[7] The star has a slightly greater mass and radius compared to the Sun.[2]
