This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K2.5 III.[4] It is a red clump giant, meaning it is fusing helium in its core after passing through the red giant branch.[7] The star is 3.2 billion years old with 1.38 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 27.7 times the Sun's radius.[7] It is radiating 204[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,352 K.[8]
