2 Cygni is a blue-white hued star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, located a few degrees from Albireo. It is a probable astrometric binary;^[10] the visible component can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.976.^[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.6 mas,^[1] it is located roughly 910 light years from Earth. It has a peculiar velocity of 23 km/s and may be a runaway star^[5] system.

The stellar classification of the primary is B3 IV,^[3] matching a B-type subgiant star. It has seven^[5] times the mass of the Sun and about 5.6^[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is 37^[5] million years old with a high rate of spin; it has a projected rotational velocity of 137 km/s.^[7] It is radiating 3,354^[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 16,479 K.^[7]
