10 Serpentis is a single,[8] white-hued star in Serpens Caput, the western section of the equatorial constellation of Serpens. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.15.[2] Located around 129 ly (39.7 pc) distant, it is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −10 km/s and will make its closest approach in around 983,000 years at a separation of about 112 ly (34.2 pc).[2]

Abt and Morrell (1995) gave this star a stellar classification of A6 III,[3] matching an evolved red giant star that has used up its core hydrogen. In contrast, Houk and Swift (1999) classed it A7 IV,[4] which is more in line with an evolving subgiant star that is on its way to becoming a giant. It has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 115 km/s, giving it an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 7% larger than the polar radius.[9] The star is about 424 million years old with 1.64[5] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 12[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 7,872 K.[5]
