21 Cancri is a double star in the northern zodiac constellation of Cancer. It is just visible to the naked eye as a dim, red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.08.[2] The star is located around 791 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 35 km/s.[6]
The brighter component is an aging red giant with a stellar classification of M2III.[3] It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch, indicating this is a highly evolved star that has exhausted both its core hydrogen and core helium.[7] This is a suspected variable star.[5] It has expanded to 53[6] times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 587[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,885 K.[6] A 9th magnitude companion star is located one arc second away.[7]
