HD 56405 is a star in the southern constellation of Canis Major. It is white in hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.45.[2] To the east of HD 56405 is the open cluster NGC 2360, also known as Caroline's Cluster.[8] The distance to HD 56405, as determined from parallax measurements, is approximately 249 light years. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity (RV) of about +6 km/s.[5] Although classed as a single star,[9] it is to suspected to vary in RV.[10]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1V.[3] It was classed as a candidate Lambda Boötis star,[11] but as of 2015 this classification has been rejected by astronomers due to the star having an inconsistent UV flux, possible RV variability, and a fairly high rotation rate.[2] The star is about 212 million years old with 2.13 times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 149 km/s.[6] It is radiating 39[4] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 9,562 K.[6]
