HD 20104 (HR 967) is a visual binary in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of 6.41,[9] making it near naked eye visibility. When resolved in a large telescope, HD 20104 appears to be a pair of 7th magnitude A-type main-sequence stars with a separation of about 0.5″.[10] Located approximately 550 light years away,[5] the system is approaching the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −6 km/s.[4]
The system's stars have masses twice that of the Sun[8] and effective temperatures ranging from 8,100 to 8,700 K,[9][11] typical of stars their type. The primary radiates at 71.3 L☉[11] − over luminous for its class − and spins with a projected rotational velocity of 159 km/s.[12] HD 20104 has an age of 313 million years.[11]
