This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K2III,[3] which indicates it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, then evolved away from the main sequence by cooling and expanding. At present it has 20[1] times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 128[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,325 K.[1]
