Omicron1 Cancri

Omicron1 Cancri, Latinized from ο1 Cancri, is a solitary,[10] white-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.20.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 21.87 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this star is located around 149 light years from the Sun. It most likely forms a co-moving pair with Omicron2 Cancri.[11]

For other stars with this Bayer designation, see ο Cancri.

With a stellar classification of A5 III,[3] this appears to be an evolved, A-type giant star. At the age of about 600 million years,[6] it has double[6] the mass of the Sun and 1.86 times the Sun's radius.[7] Omicron1 Cancri is radiating 13.4[8] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 8,636 K.[6]

Omicron1 Cancri has an infrared excess, indicating it surrounded by a circumstellar debris disk.[7] The signature matches a two-component disk with the spatially-separated belts having temperatures of 146 K and 81 K.[8]
