Beta Camelopardalis, Latinised from β Camelopardalis, is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. It is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.02.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.74 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 870 light-years from the Sun. It is moving closer with a radial velocity of −1.90 km/s[4] and is most likely a single[10] star.

This is a yellow-hued G-type supergiant/bright giant with a stellar classification of G1 Ib–IIa.[3] It is an estimated 60 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 11.7 km/s.[9] This is an unusually high rate of rotation for an evolved star of this type. One possible explanation is that it may have engulfed a nearby giant planet, such as a hot Jupiter.[11]

Beta Camelopardalis has 6.5[3] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to around 58[6] the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 1,592[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,300 K.[3] It is a source of X-ray emission.[12]

β Cam has two visual[10] companions: a 7th-magnitude A5-class star at an angular separation of 84 arcseconds; and a 12th-magnitude star at 15 arcseconds.[13]
