HD 25291 , also known asHR 1242 , is a solitary,[ 12] yellowish-white huedstar located in the northerncircumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . It has anapparent magnitude of 5.12,[ 3] making it one of the brighter members of this generally faintconstellation . The object is relatively far at a distant of approximately 2,100light years [ 2] but is drifting closer with a heliocentricradial velocity of −20.3 km/s .[ 6]
HD 25291 has a generalstellar classification of F0 II,[ 4] which indicates that it is an evolved earlyF-type bright giant . It has also been given a class of F2 Ia,[ 13] instead suggesting a slightly cooler and more luminoussupergiant . Nevertheless, it has 8.8 times themass of the Sun [ 7] but at an age of 32million years ,[ 9] it has expanded to 50.1 times itsgirth .[ 8] It radiates at abolometric luminosity 9,878 times greather that of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 7,425 K .[ 7] HD 25291 is slightly metal deficient, with aniron abundance 85% of solar levels.[ 9] It spins modestly with aprojected rotational velocity of 6.8 km/s .[ 9]
Tetzlaff et al. (2011) found the object to be arunaway star with apeculiar velocity of 25.7+1.9 −4.1 km/s , which is high compared to neighboring stars.[ 14]
