1 Canis Minoris is a single[9] star in the equatorial constellation of Canis Minor, located about 287 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.37.[2] The radial velocity of this object is poorly constrained at Template:Val.[2]
Cowley et al. (1969) listed a stellar classification of A5 IV[3] for 1 Canis Minoris, matching an A-type subgiant star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and is evolving into a giant. However, Gray and Garrison (1989) catalogued it as an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A4 V.[4] The Hipparcos team used a class of A3 Vn,[2] where the 'n' indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation.
This star is estimated to be 716[5] million years old and is at or near the end of its main sequence lifetime.[7] It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 159 km/s.[7] The star has more than double[5] the mass of the Sun with about 4.6[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 66[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,374 K.[5]
