As a subgiant, it has left the stage of a B-dwarf star at the main sequence, is now developing into a red giant and will one day end as a white dwarf. Delta Crucis is a Beta Cephei variable and changes its brightness subtly with a period of 1.3 hours. Its rotation is very fast, with a period of less than 1.3 days.
