49 Camelopardalis is a variable star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis,[2] located 313 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements.[1] It has the variable star designation BC Camelopardalis; 49 Camelopardalis is the Flamsteed designation. This star is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 6.50.Template:Sfn It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +6.5 km/s.Template:Sfn

This is a magnetic chemically peculiar starTemplate:Sfn with a stellar classification of A7VpSrCrEuSiKsn,Template:Sfn indicating it is an A-type main-sequence star with overabundances of various elements including strontium and europium, as well as broad, "nebulous" lines. The magnetic field of 49 Camelopardalis shows a relatively complex structure, in combination with distinct abundance patterns across the surface.Template:Sfn

Walter K. Bonsack et al. discovered that 49 Camelopardalis is a variable star, in 1974.[3] It is classified as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum type variable and its brightness varies from visual magnitude +6.43 down to +6.48 with a rotationally-modulated period of 4.29 days.Template:Sfn

49 Camelopardalis has 1.9 times the mass of the Sun and 2.3 times the Sun's radius. It is around 891 million years oldTemplate:Sfn and is spinning with a period of 4.29 days.Template:Sfn The star is radiating 17 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,740 K.Template:Sfn
