This object is a solar-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0.5V.[3] It is about 7.5[2] billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 2.3 km/s.[5] The star has 1.2[4] times the mass of the Sun and 1.7[1] times the Sun's radius. The metallicity, or abundance of elements with higher atomic numbers than helium, is slightly below solar.[2] The star is radiating triple the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,818 K.[1]
