This is a single-lined[6] spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 3,068 days and an eccentricity of 0.22.[5] It is a member of the young Lambda Orionis cluster[11] and is roughly 7 million years old.[8] The primary component is a B-type giant star with a stellar classification of B0 III.[3] It has over 15 times the mass of the Sun and around 6.3 times the Sun's radius.[6] Nothing is known about the secondary companion. It does not contribute a significant amount of light to the combined spectrum.[6]
