HD 115337 is abinary star located in the northerncircumpolar constellationCamelopardalis. The pair have a combinedapparent magnitude of 6.25,[3] placing it near the limit fornaked eye visibility.Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 698light years.[2] It has a heliocentricradial velocity of−9.4 km/s,[6] indicating that it is drifting towards theSolar System.
Optical measurements from Mason et al. (2001) find the pair to have a mean separation of anarcsecond along aposition angle of 184°.[9] The components havespectral classifications of K0 Ib[10] and A8 V,[5] indicating aK-type lower luminositysupergiant and anA-type main-sequence star (with uncertainty). At present the primary has 3.4 times themass of the Sun and an enlargedradius of16.4 R☉ due to its evolved status. It radiates 161 times theluminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of5,160 K,[11] giving a yellowish orange hue. HD 115337A is metal deficient, having aniron abundance only 74% of solar levels. Like most giants and supergiants, it spins slowly with aprojected rotational velocity of less than1 km/s.[7]
The physical characteristics of HD 115337A belong to agiant star as opposed to a supergiant. It has often been classified as G5 III[12] or G8 III,[5] more consistent with the above properties.
