38 Cancri is a variable star in the zodiac constellation Cancer, located around 607 light years from the Sun. This object has the variable star designation BT Cancri; 38 Cancri is the Flamsteed designation. It is a member of the Praesepe cluster[9] but is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.65.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +32 km/s.[5]

This is an evolving subgiant star with a stellar classification of F0 IV.[3] It was found to be a pulsating variable by Michel Breger in 1970[10] and is classed as a Delta Scuti variable. The star displays a pattern of variation showing up to 22 different frequencies, with three being dominant.[11] The brightness varies by up to 0.07 in magnitude.[4] The star has a magnetic field with a computed longitudinal field strength of −215±149 G.[7] It has 1.8[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.8[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 59[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,300 K.[7]
