The spectrum of HD 114386 yields a stellar classification of K3 V,[2] matching a K-type main-sequence star, or orange dwarf. It has 76% of the mass of the Sun and 73% of the Sun's radius. HD 114386 is a much older star than the Sun with an estimated age of roughly nine billion years.[4] The abundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere, a measure of the star's metallicity, is nearly solar.[5] It is rather dim compared to the Sun, radiating just 28% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,926 K.[4]
