Characteristics
The two components are separated by 3.5" along a position angle of 301°, as of 2016[update].[3] They have apparent magnitudes of 5.77 and 7.94.[3]
The primary (A) has a spectral class of G8 III, with the luminosity class 'III' suggesting it is a giant that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core.[6] The star has expanded to 11.8 times the Sun's radius[5] and now radiates 84 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere[1] at an effective temperature of 5,784 K.[5] This temperature gives it a yellow hue typical of a G-type star.[8]
The secondary (B) has a spectral class of G0 IV, with the luminosity class 'IV' suggesting it is a subgiant that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core.[6] The star has expanded to 2.0 times the Sun's radius and has an effective temperature of 5,947 K.[5] This temperature gives it a yellow hue typical of a G-type star.[8]
