HD 26755, also known as HR 1313, is a spectroscopic binary[11][13] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis, the giraffe. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.72,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 271 light years[1] and is currently drifitng closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −38 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 26755's brightness is diminished by 0.19 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[14]

The visible component is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] It is estimated to be 2.13 billion years old,[8] enough time for the star to exhaust its core hydrogen and evolve to become a red giant. It has cooled and expanded to 9.4 times the Sun's radius. It has 1.68 times the mass of the Sun[8] and radiates 42.5 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,717 K,[10] giving it an orange hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 26755 is a metal enriched star with an iron abundance 48% greater than the Sun.[10] It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1 km/s,[11] which is poorly constrained.
