υ1 Cassiopeiae is the bright star in the lower right. The bright star in the upper left is υ2 Cassiopeiae.

Upsilon1 Cassiopeiae (υ1 Cassiopeiae) is an astrometric binary[9] star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.93 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this system is located about 330 light years from the Sun.

The visible component is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2 III.[3] With an estimated age of 4.75 billion years,[5] it is a red clump star that is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[10] The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is 1.97±0.02 mas.[11] At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 21 times the radius of the Sun.[6] It has 1.39 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 174 times the Sun's luminosity from its expanded photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,422 K.[5]

There is a magnitude 12.50 visual companion at an angular separation of 17.80 arc seconds along a position angle of 61°, as of 2003. A more distant magnitude 12.89 companion lies at a separation of 93.30 arc seconds along a position angle of 125°, as measured in 2003. Neither star appears to be physically associated with υ1 Cas.[12]
