The primary is an [[F-type star|F-type]] [[subgiant]] with a [[stellar classification]] of F4IV, while its companion is a [[G-type star|G-type]] subgiant with a stellar classification of G1IV,<ref name=Edwards/> and both are somewhat more massive than the [[Sun]].<ref name="aj147_4_87"/> They perform a rather eccentric orbit once every 313 years.<ref name="Heintz1998"/>

An M7.5 star {{val|50|ul="}} from HD 131473 is a [[common proper motion]] companion. Any orbit around the inner pair would take tens of thousands of years.<ref name=msc/>
