HD 24733 is a spectroscopic binary system that is also a Beta Lyrae variable [4] located about 606 light-years (186 parsecs) away in the deep northern constellation of Camelopardalis, close to the border with Perseus. It has the variable-star designation DD Camelopardalis (sometimes abbreviated to DD Cam). With a mean apparent magnitude of 7.038, it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye from Earth, but readily visible through binoculars. [9]

Description

The primary star of the system is an A-type main-sequence star with a spectral type of A3V. [3] It has a mass of 2.16 M☉ and, at an effective temperature of 7,160 K (6,890 °C; 12,430 °F), radiates 24 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere. [8] The star displays no chemical peculiarity. [10] The secondary star is thought to be a G-type main-sequence star with the spectral type G0V. [4]

HD 24733 was discovered to be a variable star by László Szabados, who observed the star at the Piszkéstető Station of Konkoly Observatory from late 1991 until early 1995. [4] It was independently discovered to be variable from the Hipparcos satellite data, and was given its variable star designation in 1999. [11] The two stars revolve around each other in a tight, nearly circular (eccentricity 0.084) orbit with a period of 1.762838 days (1 day, 18 hours, 18 minutes). As seen from Earth, one component periodically passes in front of the other, blocking some or all of its light. Hence, the star system appears to vary in brightness; from a maximum apparent magnitude of 6.97, it dips by 0.17 and 0.11 mag as each of the stars is obscured by its companion. [4]

The shape of the light curves imply that, because of their close proximity to one another, the two stars are both heavily distorted to an ellipsoidal shape due to mutual gravitational interactions. Additionally, the system may be surrounded by circumstellar material. [4]
