HD 101917 has a stellar classification of K0 III/IV, indicating that it is an evolved K-type star with the blended luminosity class of a subgiant and a giant star. Gaia DR3 models it to be 3.9 billion years old, enough time for it to cool and expand to 4.01 times the radius of the Sun. At present it has 126% the mass of the Sun and now radiates 9.04 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature , giving it a yellow hue. HD 101917 has an iron abundance 22% below solar levels, making it slightly metal deficient. It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity lower than .
