Y Lyncis is a semiregular variable star in the constellation Lynx. It is an asymptotic giant branch star of spectral type M6S, with a luminosity class of Ib, indicating a supergiant luminosity. It is around 1,160 light years away.

Y Lyncis ranges in brightness from magnitude 6.2 to 8.9. Its changes in brightness are complex with at least two different periods showing. The General Catalogue of Variable Stars lists a period of 110 days.[8] More recent studies show a primary pulsation period of 133 days, with and a long secondary period with an amplitude of 0.2 magnitudes and duration 1,300 days. The long secondary period variations are possibly caused by long-lived convection cells.[9]

Y Lyncis has a mass around 1.5-2.0 M☉ and a luminosity around 10,000 L☉. It is a thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch star, an evolved star with a carbon-oxygen core that is fusing helium in a shell and hydrogen in a separate shell.[10] It is also an S-type star, where third dredge-ups have brought some carbon to the surface, but not enough to create a carbon star.[6]
