This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K3.5 III,[2] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at it its core and expanded to 35[1] times the Sun's radius. It serves as a spectral standard for stars of its particular class.[7] This star is radiating 334[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,070 K.[4]
