此恒星属于一种叫快速振荡Ap星的已知变星种类。它的振荡有着多重周期和非径向脉动,其显性周期为6.8分钟[8]。它的恒星光谱有着由外大气层化学分层现象所引起的独有特征。从光谱可以看出它的大气层缺乏碳、氮和氧,但是却含有过于丰富的(Cr)[5]。它的恒星光谱型为A7 Vp SrCrEu[3],意思是它是一颗主序星(A型),且大气层内含有较大量的(Sr)、铬和铕(Eu)(与一颗像太阳那样的典型行星相比)[11]

南门增二的质量约为太阳质量的150%至170%[5],而它的半径则是太阳的两倍[6],但是光度却是太阳的10倍。其外部包层的有效温度约7,000K,因此有着A型主序星典型的白色光芒[5][12]。它的自转周期为4.5天,其极点向地球视线的倾斜约为37±4°[8]

基于南门增二的位置和在太空中移的轨迹,它是移动星群绘架座β移动星群的候选成员。这个星群的成员都共同拥有同一个起源,它们各自的年龄估计约为1千2百万岁。天文学家估计南门增二在这个星群诞生的时候与集合体中心的距离约为91光年(28秒差距)[9]
