67 Cancri is a wide binary star[10] system in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, located 185 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is just visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent magnitude of 6.07.[2] The binary nature of this system was discovered by James South and John Herschel.[3] As of 2007, the two components have an angular separation of 103.9″, corresponding to a projected separation of 6,100 astronomical unit|AU.[10] They are moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +12 km/s.[5]
The primary, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A8 Vn.[4] The 'n' notation indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is a shell star,[11] with weak shell lines of singly-ionized titanium being detected in the near ultraviolet in 1970. These may have come from a sporadic mass loss event.[12] Uesugi and Fukuda (1970) gave a projected rotational velocity estimate of 105[8] km/s for the star, although Abt et al. (1997) suggested it could be as high as 205 km/s.[12]
67 Cancri A is about 867 million years old[6] with 1.89 times the mass of the Sun[6] and 1.9 times the Sun's radius.[6] It is radiating 10.4 times the Sun's luminosity[6] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,982 K.[6]
