HD 21819, also designated as HR 1073, is a solitary star [14] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.97, [3] making faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 248 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements [2] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −6.5 km/s . [8] At its current distance, HD 21819's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.17 magnitudes [15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.62. [1]
HD 21819 has a stellar classification of A3 V, [5] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. Abt & Morell (1995) gave a slightly hotter star of A2 Vp, [6] indicating that it is instead an Ap star with weak magnesium lines. It has twice the mass of the Sun [9] and 2.06 times the radius of the Sun. [10] It radiates 30.6 times the luminosity of the Sun [4] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,000 K , [12] giving it a white hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 21819 is metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.17 or 67.6% of the Sun's [11] and it is estimated to be 737 million years old, [9] having completed 55.7% of its main sequence lifetime. [4] Like most hot stars it spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 160 km/s . [6]
