HD 121504 is a

angular rate of 0.270 arcsec yr−1.[8]

The

rotation period of 8.6 days. The star has 16% more mass than the Sun and a 15% greater radius.[6] The metallicity (the abundance of elements more massive than helium) is higher than solar.[4] The star is radiating 162% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,089 K.[6]

A nearby visual companion, designated as SAO 241323 has been proposed as a component of the system. However, the pair form an

angular separation of 34.2″,[4] and in reality this is a white giant star located thousands of light years away.[citation needed
