28 Cancri is a star system in the zodiac constellation of Cancer. It is a variable star with the designation CX Cancri, and is close to the lower limit of visibility with the naked eye, having a mean apparent visual magnitude of 6.05.[3] The annual parallax shift seen from Earth's orbit is 8.5 mas, which provides a distance estimate of about 384 light years. It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of around +9 km/s.[6]

Based upon proper motion variation, this is an astrometric binary system with high likelihood (99.8%).[11] The visible component has a stellar classification of F0 Vn,[4] indicating it is a F-type main-sequence star with "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is a Delta Scuti variable star with a period of 0.0960 days and an amplitude of 0.020 in magnitude.[12] With 2.4 times the mass of the Sun it is spinning with a high projected rotational velocity of 133 km/s. 28 Cancri is radiating roughly 44 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,516 K.
