This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4III,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. It now has 22 times the girth of the Sun and is radiating 151 times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 4,304 K.[1] The metallicity, or abundance of elements with higher atomic numbers than helium, is lower than in the Sun,[4] and it is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.0 km/s.[5]
