水位增六 (巨蟹座Mu2 )是一顆單獨的黃色恆星 [ 10] ,位置在黃道 星座 的巨蟹座 內。它是肉眼可見的恆星,視星等 +5.30等[ 2] ,依據從地球測得的周年視差 42.94毫角秒 [ 1] ,這顆恆星與太陽 的距離是76光年。水位增六將在60萬年後,以最接近的4.9 pc(16 ly)距離掠過太陽[ 11] 。
估計它的年齡是56億年,它已演化 成G型 次巨星 ,類型 為C2IV。[ 3] 。它的質量是1.2倍太陽質量 [ 6] ,和1.8倍的太陽半徑 [ 7] 。 水位增六有相對較高的金屬量 – 天文學家所謂的金屬是除了氫和氦之外的其他元素,比太陽的豐度高出29% [ 6] 。它的輻射量 太陽亮度 的3.45倍3.45[ 8] ,表面的有效溫度 是5,809k[ 6] 。
