HR 2131 has a stellar classification of K5 III,[3] indicating that it is a red giant. It has 1.81 times the mass of the Sun and is 2.19 billion years old.[7] The star's high luminosity of 501 L☉[7] and a low effective temperature of 3,700 K[10] causes it to have an enlarged radius 49 times that of the Sun.[8] HR 2131's metallicity – elements heavier than helium – is around solar level;[10] it spins with a projected rotational velocity of about 2.6 km/s.[11]
