1 Lupi (1 Lup) is a solitary[9] giant star in the southern constellation of Lupus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.90,[2] which indicates it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, this star is approximately 2,000 light years from Earth.[1]

The spectral classification of this star is F1III,[3] which suggests it is an F-type that has evolved away from the main sequence and expanded into a giant star. It has a mass around seven times that of the Sun,[6] but a luminosity 2,900 times greater.[7] The estimated age of the star is around 47 million years.[6]
