The magnitude 4.98 primary, designated component A, has a stellar classification of B5 III,[4] matching an evolved blue giant star. It has 5.85[9] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 1,105[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,000 K.[9] The companion, component B, is magnitude 7.96 with an angular separation of 1.9″ from the primary.[14]
