HD 218108 has a stellar classification of A6 Vn,[3] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star with broad or nebulousabsorption lines due to rapid rotation. In 1966, David Stanley Evans gave it a slightly cooler class of A7 Vn.[17] However, Houk and Cowley (1975) give it a classification of A3/4 V, a main sequence star with the characteristics of an A3 and A4 star.[18] Paunzen et al. (2001) gives it a class of A3 V, indicating that it is instead an ordinary A-type main-sequence star.[16]
