One of the stars, which was found to be surrounded by a disk of cold matter - mainly dust and ice - according to the records of the IRAS satellite from 1983. The disk was later photographed from the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile using the 2.5-meter Irénée du Pond reflector. The disk is composed of similar material to that found during the formation of planets, and therefore this star could be a suitable center for a forming planetary system. On the other hand, its luminosity exceeds that of the Sun by up to 60 times. It is located at a distance of 78 light years. In the sky, it shines as a blue-white star of magnitude 4.
