The system is a source of X-ray emission.[8] The visible component is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III.[2] At the age of 1.15 billion years,[2] it has exhausted the hydrogen at its core region and expanded off the main sequence. It is about 13[4] times the Sun's radius and 2.35[2] times the Sun's mass. The star is radiating 72[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,008 K.[2]
