The star is roughly six billion years old with slightly more mass than the Sun. With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has expanded to nearly 12 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 52 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,569 K.
