Iota1 Cygni, Latinized from ι1 Cygni, is a probable binary star[6] system in the northern constellation Cygnus, and is separated by less than a degree from its brighter visual neighbor, Iota2 Cygni.[9] It is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.75.[8] The system is located approximately 387 light years away based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +2 km/s.[5]

This is a candidate double-lined spectroscopic binary system.[6] It has a stellar classification of A1V,[4] suggesting the primary component is an A-type main-sequence star. The star is about 400[7] million years old with a moderate rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 52 km/s.[6] It has 2.6[3] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 74[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,683 K.[3]
