17 Camelopardalis is a single[ 9] star in the northerncircumpolar constellation ofCamelopardalis , located roughly 960 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.44. This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −20 km/s.
This is an ageingred giant star, currently on theasymptotic giant branch ,[ 3] stellar classification of M1IIIa.[ 4] variable .[ 2] Sun's radius and is radiating 3,230 times theluminosity of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature ofK
