Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.02 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is around 650 light years from the Sun. Motion relative to our system's trajectory includes a highly parting vector: with a net radial velocity of about +13 km/s.[4] It moves minutely across the celestial sphere – yet just over four times more in right ascension than in declination.

This is a Beta Cephei variable[3] with a stellar classification of B2 IV.[3] It varies in brightness with a period of 0.16114 days.[6] Unlike most stars of its type, it does not display multiple periods of luminosity variation or multiple variations of its spectral line profiles.[9] The star is about 7−18[6] million years and has a low projected rotational velocity of around 7 km/s,[3] suggesting it is either rotating slowly or is being viewed from nearly pole on.[6] It has 8.4[3] times the mass of the Sun and 4.6[3] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating around 4,000[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 21,900 K[3]
