HD 31975 has a stellar classification of F9 V Fe−0.5, indicating that it is a F-type main-sequence star with a mild under abundance of iron in its atmosphere.[3] At present it has 120% the mass of the Sun and 146% the radius of the Sun.[6] It shines at double the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,165 K,[6] giving it a yellow-white glow. HD 31975 has a similar metallicity to the Sun[7] and at an age of 3.5 billion years[7] it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 6 km/s.[8]
The Washington Double Star Catalog lists a faint M5 companion 16.5" away, which is related to the star.[9]
