11 Camelopardalis and its reddish companion 12 Camelopardalis

11 Camelopardalis is a single[11] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis, located around 690 light years away from the Sun as determined by parallax. It has the variable star designation BV Camelopardalis; 11 Camelopardalis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of +5.22.[5] It forms a double star with 12 Camelopardalis, which is only 3 arcminutes away.

This is a main sequence Be star with a stellar classification of B3 Ve.[4] John R. Percy et al. discovered that 11 Camelopardalis is a variable star in 1979, and published that finding in 1981.[12] It was given its variable star designation in 1987.[13] Samus et al. (2017) classify it as a Be variable, rather than a Gamma Cassiopeiae type, and it ranges from a peak Hipparcos magnitude of 5.10 down to 5.22.[6] The star is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 95 km/s,[7] but is being viewed from an extreme pole-on position. Hence it is spinning much more rapidly than indicated. Outbursts of hydrogen emission lines have been observed, as well as rapid changes in hydrogen line profiles.[14] It is 25[9] million years old with around six[7] times the mass of the Sun.
