ι Lyrae, Latinised as Iota Lyrae, is a binary star[3] in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 5.22.[3] This object is located approximately 910 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting nearer with a radial velocity of −26 km/s.[6]

This is a wide binary system with a computed orbital period of 217 years and an eccentricity of 0.6.[8] The primary component has a stellar classification of B6IV,[4] matching a B-type subgiant star. It is a Be star,[14] displaying emission lines in its spectrum, and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 224 km/s.[11] The star ranges in brightness from magnitude 5.20 down to 5.27.[5] It has about five times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 854 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,059 K.
