χ1 Ori is a main sequence dwarf star of spectral type G0 V. It has a faint companion with an estimated mass of about 15% of the Sun, an orbital period of 14.1 years, and an estimated a stellar class of M6.

Chi1 Orionis 2 (627 words)
It lies in the northeastern corner (05:54:22.98+20:16:34.23, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Orion, the Hunter -- northwest of NGC 2169 and north of Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis).
The binary nature of the star system was discovered by Sarah Lee Lippincott and Michael D. Worth in 1978 based on astrometric analysis of photographic plates from 1937 to 1977 (Lippincott and Worth, 1978).
The distance from Chi1 Orionis A where an Earth-type planet would be "comfortable" with liquid water is centered within 1 AU -- around inside the orbital distance of Earth in the Solar System.
