HD 23277 (HR 1138) is a spectroscopic binary[12] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. With a combined apparent magnitude of 5.39,[3] it is faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. This star is located at a distance of 372 light years,[2] but is drifting away at a rate of 17 km/s.[6]

The primary has a classification of kA2hA6VmA7,[4] which indicates that it has the calcium K-line of an A2 star, but its hydrogen lines suggest a class of A6 V and metallic lines of an A7 star. At present it has 2.38 times the Sun's mass, and 3.55 times its radius.[8] It radiates at 59.7 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,317 K,[8] which gives it a white hue. The companion has 2.11 times the Sun's mass,[7] which suggests it is an A-type main-sequence star like the primary. Both stars spin at a projected rotational velocity of 25 km/s, common for an Am star.[10]
