This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0V.[3] The luminosity class of 'V' indicates the star is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. It is about two[6] billion years old and is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s.[7] The abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium in the star – what astronomers term metallicity – is about the same as in the Sun. It has 17% more mass than the Sun and an 18% greater radius. The star is radiating 1.85 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,200 K.[6]

The survey in 2015 have ruled out the existence of any stellar companions at projected distances above 23 astronomical units.[9]

Planetary system

In 2009, a gas giant was found in orbit around the star using the radial velocity method. It has an orbital period of 3.59 years and has at least 68% of the mass of Jupiter.[10]
