HD 115337 is a binary star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. The pair have a combined apparent magnitude of 6.25, [2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 698 light years. [1] It has a heliocentric radial velocity of −9.4 km/s , [5] indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.
The components have spectral classifications of K0 Ib [9] and A8 V, [4] indicating a K-type lower luminosity supergiant and an A-type main-sequence star (with uncertainty). At present the primary has 3.4 times the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 16.4 R☉ due to its evolved status. It radiates 161 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,160 K , [10] giving a yellowish orange hue. HD 115337A is metal deficient, having an iron abundance only 74% of solar levels. Like most giants, it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of less than 1 km/s . [7]
Ironically, the characteristics of HD 115337A belong to a giant star as opposed to a supergiant. It has even been classified as G5 III [11] or G8 III, [4] more consistent with the above properties. Nevertheless, optical measurements from Mason et al. (2001) find the pair to have a mean separation of an arcsecond along a position angle of 184°. [12]
HD 63454, formally named Ceibo, is a star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon near the border with Mensa. To see the star, one needs a small telescope because it has an apparent magnitude of 9.36, which is below the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 123 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 33.8 km/s. At its current distance, HD 63454's brightness is diminished by two tenths of a magnitude due to interstellar dust. It has an absolute magnitude of +6.68.
