The star is located 420 light years away based on parallax, but is drifting away with a radial velocity of 10.4 km/s.

HD 63584 has a classification of "A0 IV/V", which states it is an A0 star with the characteristics of a main sequence and subgiant star. It has 2.58 times the Sun's mass, but a radius around 3 times that of the Sun. HD 63584 radiates at 60 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,954 K, which gives it the blueish-white hue of an A0 star. Despite the "IV" part of the classification, HD 63584 is only 256 million years old, having completed only 59.6% of its main sequence lifetime.
