Upsilon1 Cancri is a solitary,[ 4] yellow-white-hued star in the constellation Cancer . Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from υ1 Cancri, and abbreviated Upsilon1 Cnc or υ1 Cnc. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye , having an apparent visual magnitude of +5.7.[ 3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.62 mas as seen from Earth,[ 2] this system is 240 light-years (73 pc ) distant from the Sun . It is drifting further away with a line of sight velocity of +19 km/s.[ 5]
This object has a stellar classification of F0 IIIn, presenting as an F-type giant star .[ 4] The 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" absorption lines due to rapid rotation, and it shows a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 109.2 km/s.[ 7] It is a variable star of unknown type that changes brightness with an amplitude of 0.05 magnitude.[ 9] The star is about 570[ 6] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 109.2 km/s.[ 7] It has an estimated mass of 1.47[ 6] times that of the Sun and 3.2 times the Sun's radius.[ 2] On average, it is radiating 25[ 1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,240 K .[ 6]
