HD 30442 (HR 1527) is a solitary[12] star in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.47[2] and is estimated to be 403 light years away from the Solar System.[1] The object has a heliocentric radial velocity of −37 km/s, indicating that it is drifting closer.[6]

HD 30442 has a stellar classification of M3 IIIab,[4] indicating that it is a red giant. It is an asymptotic giant branch[3] star currently generating energy using hydrogen and helium shells around a inert carbon core. It has 109% the mass of the Sun[8] and has an enlarged radius of 70.8 R_☉[9] due to its evolved state. It radiates at almost 1,100 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,500 K,[10] giving a red hue. HD 30442 is estimated to have a solar metallicity,[8] with an abundance of iron equivalent to that of the Sun.

HD 30442 has a companion 120″ away along a position angle of 350°.[13] It shares a common proper motion with HD 30442, suggesting physical relation, but its parallax indicates otherwise.[14]
