14 Camelopardalis is astar in the northerncircumpolar constellation ofCamelopardalis, located 272 light years away from the Sun as determined byparallax measurements. With anapparent visual magnitude of 6.49,[2] it is a challenge to view with the naked eye even in excellent viewing conditions. The heliocentricradial velocity value is poorly constrained, but it appears to be moving closer to the Earth at the rate of around −4 km/s.[2]
This is a white-hued,A-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A7 Vn,[4] where the 'n' notation indicates "nebulous"lines due to rapid rotation. The star is 504 million years old with 1.61[5] times themass of the Sun and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 312 km/s.[3] It is radiating 15[3] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 7,872 K.[5]
