HD 23277 (HR 1138) is a spectroscopic binary [12] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. With a combined apparent magnitude of 5.39, [3] it is faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. This star is located at a distance of 372 light years, [2] but is drifting away at a rate of 17 km/s. [6]
The primary has a classification of kA2hA6VmA7, [4] which indicates that it has the calcium K-line of an A2 star, but its hydrogen lines suggest a class of A6 V and metallic lines of an A7 star. At present it has 2.38 times the Sun's mass, and 3.55 times its radius. [8] It radiates at 59.7 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,317 K , [8] which gives it a white hue. The companion has 2.11 times the Sun's mass, [7] which suggests it is an A-type main-sequence star like the primary. Both stars spin at a projected rotational velocity of 25 km/s, common for an Am star. [10]
