Nu1 Lyrae1 Lyrae) is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.69 mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 1,210 light years from the Sun.[1] At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.35 due to interstellar dust.[6] With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.91,[2] the star is barely bright enough to be visible with the naked eye on a dark night.

This is a blue-white hued B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B3 IV.[3] It is a suspected variable.[4] The star has nearly seven times the mass of the Sun and, at an estimated age of about 40[3] million years, is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 145 km/s.[11] It radiates approximately 1460 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,534 K.[8]

Nu1 Lyrae has five faint visual companions listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog, the nearest being a magnitude 13.0 star at an angular separation of 33.7 arc seconds along a position angle of 76°, as of 2015.[13]
