Nu1 Coronae Borealis is a solitary,[7] red-hued star located in the northern constellation of Corona Borealis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.20.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.0 mas,[8] it is located roughly 650 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.1 due to interstellar dust.[9] This object is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −13 km/s.[4]

This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M2 III.[3] It is a variable star of uncertain type, showing a change in brightness with an amplitude of 0.0114 magnitude and a frequency of 0.22675 cycles per day, or 4.41 days/cycle.[10] It has about 67[5] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 975 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,936 K.[1]
