HD 68375 (HR 3216) is a solitary[15] star in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.54[2] and is estimated to be 289 light years distant.[1] However, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.33 km/s.[6]
HD 68375 has a stellar classification of G8 III,[4] indicating that it is a red giant. It is currently on the horizontal branch, generating energy via fusion inside a helium core. Specifically, it is a red clump star, at the cool end of the horizontal branch where stars with near-solar metallicity are found.[3] After approximately 1 billion years,[12] the star now has a radius of 9 R☉ and an effective temperature of 5,078 K,[9] giving a yellow hue. Nevertheless, it has nearly double the mass of the Sun[8] and radiates at 49 times the luminosity of the Sun[10] from its enlarged photosphere. HD 68375 is slightly metal deficient with a metallicity 76% that of the Sun[12] and spins with a poorly constrained projected rotational velocity of 1.3 km/s.[13]
