The spectrum of each star matches a stellar classification of A7V.[4] 22″ away is a 10th-magnitude star, component C, which is itself a spectroscopic binary. In the past, these stars had been treated as a single system, but they are now known to have different proper motions and somewhat different distances.[4]
