System
The primary star is an eclipsing, semi-detached binary, the brighter component of which is a pulsating star of Delta Scuti type. Its pulsation frequency is 17.99 cycles per day.[4] Mass transfer between stars is ongoing in the system[8] with a transfer rate of 6.8×10−7M☉/year. The 2.8 day period of the Algol binary is cyclically variable with a period 116.04 years, possibly due to gravitational influence of the distant companion HD 139319B. Another three stars in the system are suspected.[6]
