Gamma1 Normae, Latinized from γ1 Normae, is a single,[9] yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation of Norma. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.98.[2] The annual parallax shift is only 2.22±0.27 mas as measured from Earth,[1] which yields a rough distance estimate of 1,500 light years from the Sun. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of around -16 km/s.[4]

This is an F-type supergiant star with a stellar classification of F9 Ia[3] It has 6.6[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 160[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 2,040[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,068 K.[8] It is estimated to be around 53 million years old.[5]

γ2 Nor is a nearby star nearly a magnitude brighter.
