Star in the constellation Camelopardalis
HD 30442 (HR 1527 ) is a solitary[ 12] star in the northerncircumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . It is faintly visible to thenaked eye with anapparent magnitude of 5.47[ 3] and is estimated to be 403light years away from theSolar System .[ 2] The object has a heliocentricradial velocity of −37 km/s , indicating that it is drifting closer.[ 7]
HD 30442 has astellar classification of M3 IIIab,[ 5] indicating that it is ared giant . It is anasymptotic giant branch [ 4] star currently generating energy usinghydrogen andhelium shells around an inertcarbon core . It has 109% themass of the Sun [ 8] and has an enlargedradius of 70.8 R ☉ [ 9] due to its evolved state. It radiates at almost 1,100 times theluminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 3,500 K ,[ 10] giving a red hue. HD 30442 is estimated to have a solarmetallicity ,[ 8] with an abundance ofiron equivalent to that of theSun .
HD 30442 has a companion 120″ away along aposition angle of 350° .[ 13] It shares a commonproper motion with HD 30442, suggesting physical relation, but itsparallax indicates otherwise.[ 14]
