33 Cygni is a single[7] star located 159 light years away in the northern constellation Cygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.28.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −16 km/s.[5] Eggen (1995) listed it as a proper motion candidate for membership in the IC 2391 supercluster.[9]

This star has a stellar classification of A3 IV–Vn,[4] showing a spectrum with traits intermediate between an A-type main-sequence star and an evolving subgiant star. The 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" absorption lines due to rapid rotation. It is about 400[7] million years old with a high projected rotational velocity of 243 km/s.[3] This rate of spin is giving the star an oblate shape with a pronounced equatorial bulge that is an estimated 28% wider than the polar radius.[10]
33 Cyg has 2.33[3] times the mass of the Sun and 2.76[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 44 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,395 K.[3] It displays an infrared excess that suggests an orbiting debris disk with a temperature of 500 K at a mean distance of 1.80 AU from the host star.[6]
