1 Lyncis is a single [5] star in the northern constellation of Lynx. It is also known by its variable star designation of UW Lyncis; 1 Lyncis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, reddish-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.95. [3] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 12 km/s. [7]
The star is an aging red giant of spectral type M3IIIab, [5] currently on the asymptotic giant branch, [4] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. It has been classified as a possible slow irregular variable, [6] after being found to be slightly variable in 1969 by Olin J. Eggen. [12] Its changes in brightness are complex, with two shorter changeable periods of 35–40 and 47–50 days due to the star's pulsations, and a longer period of 1,500 days possibly due to the star's rotation or convectively induced oscillatory thermal (COT) mode. [13] The star has expanded to 156 [9] times the Sun's radius and it is radiating 2,848 [10] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,485 K. [10]
