HD 27245, also known as HR 1335 or rarely 25 H. Camelopardalis is a solitary red-hued star [15] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.4, [3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Gaia DR3 Parallax measurements place it approximately 607 light years [2] away from it the Solar System and is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 25.2 km/s . [7] At its current distance, HD 27245's brightness is diminished by 0.36 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust. [16] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.27. [1]
HD 27245 is an aging red giant with a stellar classification of M0 III. [4] It has 118% the mass of the Sun [8] but has expanded to a radius of 52.8 R☉. [11] It radiates 570 times the luminosity of the Sun [10] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,033 K . [12] HD 27245's iron abundance is 129% that of the Sun's, [8] making it metal enriched.
HD 27245 is a suspected variable star with an amplitude of 0.05 magnitudes. [6] Its variability was first observed in 1930 by Joel Stebbins. [17] However, Eggen (1967) instead lists it as an ordinary M-type giant and used the object for comparison. [18] In 1978–9, HD 28245 was again listed as a variable star but did not provide further insight. [19] As of 2017, the star has not been confirmed to be variable. [6]
