5 Camelopardalis is a binary star[11] system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis, located about 770 light years away from the Sun as determined using parallax.[1] With an apparent magnitude of 5.5,[2] it can be seen with the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +2.4 km/s.[5]

The primary component is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B9.5 V.[3] However, Abt and Morrell (1995) found a luminosity class of IV,[4] suggesting it is instead a subgiant star that is evolving off the main sequence. It has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 102 km/s and has 2.15 times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 226 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,931 K.[7]
The magnitude 12.9 common proper motion companion lies at an angular separation of 12.9″.[11] It appears to be slightly smaller and cooler than the Sun.[12]
