HD 1606 is a single[12] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda, positioned a few degrees to the northeast of the bright star Alpheratz. It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.87.[2] Although it is suspected of variability, none has been conclusively found.[13] The star is located at a distance of approximately 580 light-years (179 parsecs) from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +4 km/s.[7] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.5.[8]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B7V,[4] which means it is currently generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It has 3.75[3] times the mass of the Sun and a fairly high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 113 km/s.[10] The star is radiating 245[3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,186 K.[10]
