This is classified as a K-type giant star,[3] having evolved off the main sequence after exhausting the hydrogen at its core and expanded to 64[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 848[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,910 K.[5]
