It is around 16 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of up to 298 km/s. The star has six times the mass of the Sun and 3.4 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 483 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,732 K. An infrared excess indicates a circumstellar disk of dust with a mean temperature of 50 K is orbiting the star at a separation of.
