μ1 Chamaeleontis, Latinized as Mu1 Chamaeleontis, is a single[12] star in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.53.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 403 light-years away from the Sun.[1] The radial velocity is poorly constrained, but it appears to be drifting further away at the rate of about 16 km/s[5]

This object has a stellar classification of A0 IV,[3] matching an A-type subgiant star. It has 2.6 times the mass of the Sun[6] and an effective temperature of 10,141 K,[9] giving a bluish white glow. Due to its slightly enlarged radius,[7] the star has a luminosity over 90 times that of the Sun[8] and spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 150 km/s.[10] Mu1 Chamaeleontis' metallicity – elements heavier than helium – is 66% that of the Sun.[6]
