HD 42818 is a suspected astrometric binary[11] star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.76.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from Earth's orbit,[6] it is located some 175 light years away. The system appears to be moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of Script error: No such module "val"..[5] As of 2012, it is estimated that the system will make its closest approach to the Sun in Script error: No such module "val". at a distance of around Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]

The visible member, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 Vn,[4] where the 'n' indicates "nebulous" absorption lines due to rotation. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of Script error: No such module "val".[7] (van Belle (2012) lists Script error: No such module "val".), giving the star a pronounced equatorial bulge.[12] Although spectral type A stars are not expected to emit X-rays, the coordinates of this star is a source of X-ray emission with a luminosity of Script error: No such module "val".. This may be coming from a cooler, unseen companion.[13]

The primary has an estimated 2.49 times the mass of the Sun[7] and about 2.7 times the Sun's radius.[8] It is a relatively young star, about 99 million years old. The star is radiating 34 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of Script error: No such module "val"..[7]
