Iota1 Normae (ι1 Normae) is a quadruple star system[7] in the southern constellation of Norma. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.63,[2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Stellar parallax measurements give distances varying between 132.2 and 134.1 light-years. At that distance, the visual magnitude of these stars is diminished by an extinction of 0.062 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[10]

The inner pair orbit each other with a period of 26.8 years, a semimajor axis of 0.33 arc seconds, and an eccentricity of 0.515. Both stars are A-type main sequence stars. The brighter of the pair, magnitude 5.14[2] component A, has a spectral class of A4 V,[4] while its magnitude 5.70[2] companion, component B, is of class A6 V.[4] The two are 1.94 and 1.65 times as massive as the Sun, respectively.[10] The tertiary member, component C, lies at an angular separation of 11.0 arc seconds from the other members.[2] It has an apparent magnitude of 8.02[2] and is itself a close binary, comprising two stars with an orbital period around 0.82 days,[7] each with an apparent magnitude of 8.75.[2]
