17 Camelopardalis is a single[7] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis, located roughly 960 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.44.[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −20 km/s.[1]
This is an aging red giant star, currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[8] with a stellar classification of M1IIIa.[3] It is a suspected small amplitude variable.[2] The star has expanded to 83[1] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 1,603[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,818 K.[5]
