1 Cancri is a single[2] star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, positioned near the border with Gemini at a distance of around 470 light years from the Sun.[1] It is barely visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.97.[2] The object is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14 km/s.[1]
This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K3− III,[3] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and expanded. It is specified as a spectral standard for that type.[3] The angular diameter of the star measured from a lunar occultation is 2.1±0.6 mas,[7] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 31 times the radius of the Sun.[5] It is radiating 137[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,487 K.[8]
