SkySafari:
XX Camelopardalis is a 7th magnitude Variable Star appearing in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is a yellow-orange supergiant of spectral type G1Iab:e. Its surface temperature is 5280 Kelvins - 8% cooler than the Sun's - and it is 215.3 times the Sun's diameter in size. This star's total energy output, or luminosity, is 32509 times the Sun's, and it has a mass of 10.5 Solar masses.
XX Camelopardalis is an eruptive variable star of type RCB:. Its magnitude varies from +8.1 to +9.8, with an irregular or unknown period.
