From spectroscopic observations Bessell and Eggen (1972) (hereafter called BE) have detected that HR 5999 (erroneously named HR 6000 by BE) is a shell star of spectral type A7 III-IV with hydrogen lines in emission. Photometric observations show subsequently that HR 5999 varies in brightness up to about 1 mag semiregularly with a period of about 1 month. Eggen (1975) believes that HR 5999 forms a pre-main sequence object.

With HR 6000, the star HR 5999 forms a visual double star system named Δ199; HR 5999 is the southern component. The angular separation is about 45”. BE show that these stars have a common proper motion, and are, therefore, believed to form a physical pair.
