42 Cancri is a single[7] star in the northern zodiac constellation of Cancer. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.83,[2] it is dimmer than what is considered the normal lower limit for visibility with the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of approximately 616 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +35 km/s.[2] 42 Cancri is a member of the Beehive Cluster (NGC 2632).[7]
The stellar classification of this star is A7III,[3] matching an A-type star that is in the giant stage. However, this may be a misclassification of a main sequence star.[8] It has also been classified as a spectroscopic binary,[5] although no orbital elements are published. 42 Cancri is an estimated 603[4] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 195 km/s.[5] The star has 2.39 times the mass of the Sun and 4.2 times the Sun's radius.[4] It is radiating 51.5[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,607 K.[1]
