The HD 2638 members A and BC have a projected separation of about25.5±1.9 AU and thus an orbital period of around 130 years.[4] They have a combinedstellar classification of K1V.[3] The primary component is aG-type main-sequence star with a class of G8V.[4] It is smaller and less massive than the Sun, and has a lower luminosity.[6] The secondary is a binary consisting of twored dwarf stars on close orbit with combined mass less than half the mass of the primary, and a composite spectral class of M1V.[4]
