HD 47475 has a classification of K0 II, which states its a bright giant that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. It has four times the Sun's mass, but has expanded to 45 times the Sun's radius. It radiates at about 1,000 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere from an effective temperature of 4,845 K. HD 47475 has a projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s, which is fast for its class.
