This object is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V. It is photometrically-stable star with an inactive chromosphere, and has a much higher than normal metallicity. The star is roughly 6.3 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.6 km/s. It has 12% more mass than the Sun and a 35% greater radius. HD 4203 is radiating 1.68 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,666 K.
