HD 33266 is an A-type star with 2.45 times the mass of the Sun and 3.14 times the radius of the Sun.[8] Although its spectral type of A2IV gives a luminosity class typical for a subgiant,[5] stellar evolution models[2] and its position in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram place it on the main sequence.[4] It shines at 49.7 L from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,952 K,[9] giving it a white glow, at an age of 340 million years.[10] Its metallicity − elements heavier than helium − is at solar level.[10] It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 15 km/s[11] and has been identified as an Am star.[4]
