A-type star in the constellation Camelopardalis
HD 28780 , also known as HR 1440 , is a solitary white-hued star [ 14] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . It has an apparent magnitude of 5.91,[ 2] making it faintly viisble to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 488 light-years ,[ 1] and it is currently drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −22.6 km/s .[ 7] At its current distance, HD 28780's brightness is diminished by 0.33 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [ 15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.26.[ 8]
HD 28780 has a stellar classification of A1 V,[ 4] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core . However, Abt & Morell (1995) gave a classification of A1 III,[ 5] indicating that it is an evolved A-type giant star that has exhausted hydrogen fusion at its core. At the age of 300 million years ,[ 9] HD 28780 has completed 80.2% of its main sequence lifetime.[ 3] It has 2.48 times the mass of the Sun [ 9] and a slightly enlarged radius 3.79 times larger than the Sun 's.[ 10] The star radiates 101 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,616 K .[ 3] HD 28780 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 61.7% that of the Sun's ([Fe/H] = −0.21)[ 11] and unlike most hot stars, it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 41.3 km/s .[ 12]
