The primary component, Epsilon Volantis A, is a spectroscopic binary.[9] It is classified a blue-white B-typegiant star and has an apparent magnitude of +4.35. (The individual components are classified as B6IV and B8.)[4] The binary system has an orbital period of 14.1683 days. The binary's companion, Epsilon Volantis B, is 6.05 arcseconds away and has an apparent magnitude of +8.1. It too is a spectroscopic binary, consisting of two A-type main sequence stars with stellar classifications of A2 V and an orbital period of "a few days".[4]
