Visual binary in the constellation Camelopardalis
HD 20104 (HR 967 ) is a visualbinary in the northerncircumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . The system has a combinedapparent magnitude of 6.41,[ 9] making it nearnaked eye visibility. When resolved in a large telescope, HD 20104 appears to be a pair of 7th magnitudeA-type main-sequence stars with a separation of about 0.5″ .[ 10] Located approximately 550light years away,[ 6] the system is approaching theSun with a heliocentricradial velocity of −6 km/s .[ 5]
The system's stars have masses twice that of theSun [ 8] andeffective temperatures ranging from 8,100 to 8,700K ,[ 9] [ 11] typical of stars their type. The primary radiates at 71.3 L ☉ [ 11] − over luminous for its class − and spins with aprojected rotational velocity of 159 km/s .[ 12] HD 20104 has an age of 313million years .[ 11]
