4 Lacertae is a single[9] star in the northern constellation Lacerta, located about 2,600 light years away.[1] This object visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.55.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −26 km/s.[2] This star is a suspected member of the Lac OB1 association.[10][4]

This is a supergiant[10] star with a stellar classification of A0 Ib.[3] The surface abundances show evidence of material that has been processed via the CNO cycle at the core.[10] It has ten[7] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 59[5] times the Sun's radius. The star is around 25[7] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 28 km/s.[5][1]
