HD 115337


HD 115337 is a binary star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. The pair have a combined apparent magnitude of 6.25, placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 698 light years. It has a heliocentric radial velocity of, indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.
Optical measurements from Mason et al. find the pair to have a mean separation of an arcsecond along a position angle of 184°. The components have spectral classifications of K0 Ib and A8 V, indicating a K-type lower luminosity supergiant and an A-type main-sequence star. At present the primary has 3.4 times the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of due to its evolved status. It radiates 161 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of, giving a yellowish orange hue. HD 115337A is metal deficient, having an iron abundance only 74% of solar levels. Like most giants and supergiants, it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of less than.
The physical characteristics of HD 115337A belong to a giant star as opposed to a supergiant. It has often been classified as G5 III or G8 III, more consistent with the above properties.
