HD 46588 (HR 2401; Gliese 240.1) is a star with a brown dwarf companion in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.44,[1] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of only 59 light-years[2] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 15 km/s.[11]

HD 46588 is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a spectral classification of F7 V.[4] It has 113% the mass of the Sun[7] and 119% its radius.[9] It shines at 182% the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,273 K,[7] giving it a yellow white glow. Isochronic measurements place HD 46588's age at 1.27 billion years,[7] but it is poorly constrained. The star's metallicity is 76% that of the Sun[7] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 6.63 km/s.[12]

Due to the star's close proximity to Earth and similarity to the Sun, it has been well studied by astronomers.[5] A brown dwarf companion, HD 46588 B, was discovered in a WISE survey in 2011, at a distance of 1420 astronomical unit|AU from the primary. It has a mass of 67+8
−20
 Jupiter masses
and a temperature of 1360+50−80 K.[5] An infrared excess has been discovered around HD 46588, indicating a cold debris disk with a temperature of 60 K.[13] In addition, a 2022 study detected a candidate planet around the star using the radial velocity method.[8]
