SkiSafari lists a companion, but not a magnitude. WDS lists the primary as a spectroscopic binary Aa and Ab both at mag 4.6, there is apparently also B a 9.9 magnitude 5.5" companion, and C and 11.8 magnitude 49" companion, neither of these show in the survey imagery or have any data in SIMBAD beyond the WDS listing
