The main A-type star has a magnitude of −1.46 and there is a faint white dwarf companion. The system is between 200 and 300 million years old.<ref>http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/462419/meta;jsessionid=916A182CBB756B2A4271550344CB78D0.c1.iopscience.cld.iop.org</ref> Originally it was composed of two bright blueish stars.
