It is a yellow giant of spectral type G7III and surface temperature of around 4892 K, around 2.4 times the mass, 43 times the luminosity and 9 times the radius of our Sun. There is one planet known to orbit this star.[2]
Planetary system
A planet with at least 4.5 times the mass of Jupiter and a highly eccentric orbit (with an eccentricity of 0.66) was discovered by precisely measuring the radial velocity of the star in 2013. With an average distance of 4.5 AU from its star, this planet has one of the most eccentric orbits discovered.[2]

gollark: Troubling!
gollark: So do you know of the """error -117"""?
gollark: Besides, we have countermeasures against debris anyway.
gollark: Well, you could fire stuff from higher orbits, or indeed lower orbits or basically any orbits, but it would be hard to hit.
gollark: Yes, low earth orbit naturally.
