HD 25291, also known as HR 1242, is a solitary,[12] yellowish-white hued star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.12,[2] making it one of the brighter members of this generally faint constellation. The object is relatively far at a distant of approximately 2,100 light years[1] but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −20.3 km/s.[5]

HD 25291 has a general stellar classification of F0 II,[3] which indicates that it is an evolved early F-type bright giant. It has also been given a class of F2 Ia,[13] instead suggesting a slightly cooler and more luminous supergiant. Nevertheless, it has 8.8 times the mass of the Sun[7] but at an age of 32 million years,[9] it has expanded to 50.1 times its girth.[8] It radiates at a bolometric luminosity 9,878 times greather that of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,425 K.[7] HD 25291 is slightly metal deficient, with an iron abundance 85% of solar levels.[9] It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 6.8 km/s.[9]

Tetzlaff et al. (2011) found the object to be a runaway star with a peculiar velocity of 25.7+1.9
−4.1 km/s, which is high compared to neighboring stars.[14]
