This object is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1.5V,[4] which indicates it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. It is 254 million years old[7] with a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 130 km/s.[9] The star has 1.8 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 1.9 times the Sun's radius.[8] It is radiating 16 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,528 K.[7]

The star displays an infrared excess with a signature that suggests it has two debris disks. The inner disk is orbiting 7.4 AU from the host star with a mean temperature of 200 K, while the outer disk is 50 K at a separation of 119 AU.[8]
