Sagan is a G2V spectral class star like our sun. It is a main sequence dwarf star (gets it's energy from nuclear fusion by fusing hydrogen to form helium). It's color is actually an off-white but appears yellow because of atmospheric scattering on Sagan IV. It is 69% more luminous and 29% more massive then our sun albeit only 60% the density of our sun. Sagan's habitable zone lies between 0.75 to 1.6 au.
