At the age of 2.74[5] billion years, this is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 IIIb Fe-1,[3] where the suffix notation indicates an underabundance of iron in its atmosphere. It belongs to a sub-category of giants called the red clump, indicating that it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[9] With 1.62[5] times the mass of the Sun, it has expanded to 11[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 58.9[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,809 K.[5]
