HD 58425, also known as HR 2830, is an astrometric binary [12] (100% chance [13] ) located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orang point of light at an apparent magnitude of 5.64. [3] Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the system is estimated to be 470 light years away from Earth. [2] It appears to be rapidly receding from the Sun, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 58.6 km/s . [6]
The visible component is an evolved, RGB star with a stellar classification of K2 III. [4] It has 1.74 times the mass of the Sun and is said to be 3.55 billion years old. [7] At this age, the object has expanded to 24.7 times the radius of the Sun [8] and now radiates nearly 200 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,479 K . [8] HD 58425 A has an iron abundance only 38% that of the Sun's, [10] making it metal deficient.
