This low-mass star has a stellar classification of M4 V,[4] which places it among the category of stars known as red dwarfs. It has 15%[13] of the mass of the Sun and 21%[16] of the Sun's radius, but generates energy so slowly that it has only 0.033% of the Sun's visible luminosity;[3] however, most of the energy being radiated by the star is in the infrared band, with the bolometric luminosity being equal to 0.36% of solar.[17] This energy is being radiated from the star's outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 3,180 K.[4] This gives it the cool orange-red glow of an M-type star.
