Star in the constellation Camelopardalis
HD 24479 , also designated as HR 1204 , is a solitary,[ 15] bluish-white hued star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . The star is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04.[ 2] Based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[ 1] it is located 385 light years from the Sun. However, it is receding with a somewhat constrained heliocentric radial velocity of 4.6 km/s .[ 6] At its current distance, HD 24479's brightness is diminished by 0.29 magnitudes due to interstellar dust .[ 16]
In 1932, HD 24479 was identified as a Be star by Olin C. Wilson at the Mount Wilson Observatory .[ 17] In 1969, astronomer Anne Cowley and her colleauges listed a stellar classification of B9.5 V,[ 5] matching a B-type main-sequence star . Slettebak (1982) gave it a class of B9 IV,[ 4] suggesting this instead an evolving subgiant star . Zorec and Royer (2012) model it to be an evolved dwarf star that has completed 85.9% of its main sequence lifetime.[ 3]
It has an estimated 3.14 times the mass of the Sun [ 3] and 4.1 times the Sun's radius ,[ 8] which is large for its class. The star is radiating 156 times the Sun's luminosity [ 8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,250 K .[ 3] HD 24479 is estimated to be 256 million years old[ 12] and is spinning quickly with a projected rotational velocity of 85 km/s .[ 11]
