1 Lacertae (1 Lac) is a solitary[10] star in the northern constellation of Lacerta. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.15.[2] Based upon measurements by the Hipparcos spacecraft, this star is located at a distance of roughly 420 light years.[1] A stellar classification of K3II-III[3] suggests this is an evolved giant star. It has expanded to an estimated 51[6] times the radius of the Sun. The effective temperature of 4,350[7] K for the stellar atmosphere gives it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star.[11]
