The stellar classification of the primary is G5V, matching an ordinary G-type main-sequence star. The star has a low level of stellar activity with an estimated age of 9 to 12 billion years old. Its metallicity is twice that of the Sun, unusual for its advanced age. HD 233731 has a similar mass and radius as the Sun, and is spinning with a rotation period of 28.7 days. It is radiating 77% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5314 K.
A faint stellar companion (2MASS J10224397+5007504) with a red hue is located at an angular separation of 9 arcseconds from the primary. In 2015, a spectroscopic stellar companion was reported with a semimajor axis of less than 33 AU. This star has an effective temperature of 4,000+250
−400 K with a mass of 0.63+0.07
−0.17 M☉.
