Chi1 Hydrae (χ1 Hya) is a binary star[3] in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It originally received the Flamsteed designation of 9 Crateris before being placed in the Hydra constellation.[9] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.13 mas as seen from Earth, it is located about 141 light years from the Sun. It is visible to the naked with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.94.[2]

The two components of this system appear to have equal masses of 1.93 times the mass of the Sun.[6] The pair circle each other with an orbital period of 7.55 years with an eccentricity of 0.35.[6]
