41 Cygni is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, located near the southern border with Vulpecula. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.02.[2] The star lies at a distance of around 770 light years from the Sun, based on parallax, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −18 km/s.[4]

This is a sharp-lined supergiant star[10] with a stellar classification of F5Ib-II.[3] It is 85[6] million years old with 5.3[6] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 9.5 km/s.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 27[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 1,200[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,533 K.[7]
