It is advancing in the general direction of the Sun with a radial velocity of −11.6 km/s.

This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V. It displays an infrared excess, with the measured radiation indicating the star is orbited by a two-component debris disk. The star is about 161 million years old with 2.23 times the mass of the Sun and 1.7 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 27.5 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 9,962 K.

There are two visual companions: component B is a magnitude 12.6 star at an angular separation of 39.3 arc seconds along a position angle of 312°, as of 2000; component C is magnitude 11.6 with a separation of 56.8 arc seconds along a position angle of 283°, as of 1999. Neither star is physically associated with Kappa1 Sagittarii.
