5 Camelopardalis is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis. With an apparent magnitude of 5.5, it can be seen with the naked eye. This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B9.5V.[3] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 102 km/s,[6] and is radiating 178 the luminosity of the Sun.[5] It has a probable astrometric companion at an angular separation of 12.9″.[7] The pair are located about 620 light years away.[1]
