The brighter component has a stellar classification of G8 III/IV,[4] indicating that it is a G-type star with the blended luminosity class of a giant star and a subgiant. It has 125% of the mass of the Sun[9] and an enlarged radius of 8.26 R.[10] It shines at 37.1 times the luminosity of the Sun[10] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,956 K,[10] giving it a yellow glow. HD 199223A's iron abundance is 135% that of the Sun[11] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity less than 1 km/s.[12]

As for the dimmer one, it is classified as an F/G star,[6] and is calculated to be an F-type subgiant. It has 146% of the mass of the Sun[9] and 2.1 times its radius.[13] It radiates with a luminosity of 8.82 L[13] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,865 K,[13] giving it a yellow white glow.
