The properties for this star seem a little out of whack. Based on mass and radius it's a subgiant version of the Sun, but the luminosity is 77×? That seems excessive. Praemonitus (talk) 02:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

It seems the reference for mass/radius is wrong. Possibly some sort of misidentification. CADARS lists a radius of 8.9 R, which agrees well with the temperature and luminosity, and with the subgiant classification. Mass is also possibly wrong, because a near solar mass star in the Beehive Cluster (600 million years old) should not be evolved. At this age, it was probably a late B star, which is why it rotates very fast. Jolielegal (talk) 13:48, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
