This system is moving through the galaxy at a velocity of 30.3 km/s relative to the Sun. Its galactic orbit carry it somewhere between 25100-22000 light years from the galactic core, and it'll come at its closest to the Sun 2.1 million years from now, at a distance of 124.0 light-years.[2]
The binary nature of this system was discovered in 1934 by G. P. Kuiper, who found the pair had an angular separation of 0.3″.[3] The pair orbit each other with a period of 58.4 years and an eccentricity of 0.295.[6] The primary component is of visual magnitude 6.23 and is a chemically-peculiar F-type main-sequence star with a class of F1Vp.[3] The companion is of magnitude 8.13.[3]
