31 Camelopardalis is a binary star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim point of light with a peak apparent visual magnitude of +5.12.[7] Parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of approximately 460 light years away from the Sun,[2] and the system is drifting closer to the Earth with a radial velocity of −3 km/s.[8]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary in a circular orbit with an orbital period of 2.93 days.[9] It is a detached binary with two main sequence components that do not fill their Roche lobes. The orbital plane is oriented near the line of sight from the Earth, making this a Beta Lyrae–type eclipsing binary variable star. It has the variable star designation TU Cameleopardis, while 31 Camelopardalis is the Flamsteed designation.[4] The primary eclipse lowers the visual magnitude to 5.29, while the secondary eclipse lowers it to 5.22.[7]
