HD 26755, also known as HR 1313, is a spectroscopic binary [12] [14] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis, the giraffe. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.72, [3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 271 light years [2] and is currently drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −38 km/s . [7] At its current distance, HD 26755's brightness is diminished by 0.19 magnitudes due to interstellar dust. [15]
The visible component is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K1 III. [5] It is estimated to be 2.13 billion years old, [9] enough time for the star to exhaust its core hydrogen and evolve to become a red giant. It has cooled and expanded to 9.4 times the Sun's radius. It has 1.68 times the mass of the Sun [9] and radiates 42.5 times the luminosity of the Sun [2] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,717 K , [11] giving it an orange hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 26755 is a metal enriched star with an iron abundance 48% greater than the Sun. [11] It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1 km/s , [12] which is poorly constrained.
