Star in the constellation Camelopardalis
18 Camelopardalis is a yellow-white-hued star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis . It has an apparent visual magnitude is 6.44,[ 2] which makes it a challenge to view with the naked eye. Using the measured annual parallax shift of 23.02 mas , its distance can be estimated at 142 light-years . The star is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +33 km/s[ 2] and has an annual proper motion of 0.251 arcseconds .[ 9]
The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of F8 V,[ 2] indicating this is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star . It is around 5.3 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s.[ 7] The star has 1.2 times the mass of the Sun ,[ 6] 1.93 times the Sun's radius ,[ 1] and has near solar abundances of elements.[ 6] The star is radiating 4.24[ 1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,908 K.[ 6]
