Omicron1 Cancri is a solitary,[12] white-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ο1 Cancri, and abbreviated Omicron1 Cancri or ο1 Cnc. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.20.[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.33 mas as seen from Earth,[2] it is located 160 light-years (49 pc) away from the Sun. It most likely forms a co-moving pair with Omicron2 Cancri.[13]

With a stellar classification of A5 III,[5] this presents as an evolved, A-type giant star. At the age of about 600 million years,[7] it has double[7] the mass of the Sun and 1.86 times the Sun's radius.[8] Omicron1 Cancri is radiating 13.4[9] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 8,145 K.[10] It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 90 km/s.[14]

Omicron1 Cancri has an infrared excess, indicating it surrounded by a circumstellar debris disk.[8] The signature matches a two-component disk with the spatially separated belts having temperatures of 146 K and 81 K.[9]
