According to Emeritus Professor Jim Kaler, Beta Hydri entered the main sequence a dwarf star at the cooler end of class F (probably around spectral class F8) but now appears to be a subgiant star that is evolving off the main sequence, as it begins to fuse increasing amounts of helium «ash» mixed with hydrogen at its core.

As a subgiant star subject to pulsations which affect careful measurements of variations in radial velocity caused by the gravitational pull of substellar companions, astronomers would find it very difficult to detect any Earth - type planet around Beta Hydri using present methods.

According to Professor Jim Kaler at the University of Illinois» Department of Astronomy, Rana started life as a main sequence F8 dwarf (somewhat hotter and brighter than Sol with slightly greater mass) around 7.5 billion years ago, but core hydrogen fusion has ceased causing the star to expand and cool as an active subgiant before becoming much brighter and larger «as a true giant star» through core helium fusion.
