The dual nature of this system was recognized by Annie Cannon in 1912, and she assigned the pair separate Henry Draper Catalogue identifiers.[7] They orbit each other with a period of around 143.69 yr.[10] The primary component is itself a spectroscopic binary in a near circular orbit with a period of around 3.06 yr. The a sin i value for the primary is 30.8 ± 1.6 Gm (0.206 ± 0.011 AU), where a is the semimajor axis and i is the orbital inclination. It has been repeatedly resolved by speckle interferometery since 1973. Radio emission was detected from this system in 1985/86.[7]

The supergiant primary is a slow irregular variable with an amplitude of about 0.1 magnitudes.[5] Its close companion has 57% of the mass of the Sun.[10] The secondary is a hot B-type main-sequence star, but still 2.5 magnitudes fainter than the primary.[3]
