Stellar Notes
Component D, 8.73V, +0.10(B-V), -0.22(U-B), B8III.
Spectrum formerly classified as K4Ib. According to P. C. Keenan (October 1986), recent spectrograms, although not of | extremely high quality, show that star is not as luminous as Ib, with best spectral type of S. Yorka and P. C. | Keenan reported as K3IIb, although it may be slightly later.
