29 Camelopardalis (29 Cam) is a double star in the circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. With an apparent magnitude of 6.59,[2] it's right below the max visibility to the naked eye, and can only be viewed under phenomenal conditions. The star is located 484 light years[1] away based on parallax, but is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 3.9 km/s.[3]
29 Cam A
29 Cam A has a classification of A4IV-V, which suggests that this star is beginning to evolve off the main sequence. Zorec et al. models it as a star that has completed 90.6% of the main sequence, which correlates to an age of 380 million years.[6] At present, 29 Cam has 2.47 the mass of the Sun,[6] and 3.49 times its radius. [7] It radiates at 58.9 times the luminosity of the Sun from an effective temperature of 8,337 K,[6] which gives it a white hue of an A-type star. 29 Cam spins rapidly at a projected rotational velocity of 123 km/s despite its evolved state.
29 Cam B
29 Cam has a companion designated BD+56 1065B, which is a 10 magnitude star. According to the proper motion, this star is unrelated to the primary, and is 4 times farther than the primary.[13] The companion is relatively cooler and less luminous than the primary.
