29 Camelopardalis
29 Camelopardalis (29 Cam) is a double star in the circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis.
Visual Properties
Visibility
With an apparent magnitude of 6.59, it's right below the max visibility to the naked eye, and can only be viewed under phenomenal conditions.
Velocity and Distance
With a radial velocity of 3.9, it's drifting away from the Solar System, and is currently located 484 light years away based on parallax.
Physical Properties
The primary star has a classification of A4IV-V, which suggests that this star is evolving of the main sequence and has the luminosity between a subgiant and a main sequence star. 29 Cam has twice the mass of the Sun, and has 3.49 times it's radius. It has 43.76 times the luminosity of the Sun, and has a rapid rotation rate, which a projected velocity of 123 km/s. It has an effective temperature of 8397 K, which gives it a white hue of an A-type star.
Companion
29 Cam has a companion designated BD+56 1065B, which is a 10 magnitude star. According to the proper motion, this star is unrelated to the primary, and is 4 times farther than the primary.[10] The companion is relatively cooler and less luminous than the primary.
