HR 297 is a solitary star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cassiopeia. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.8,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye from dark suburban skies. Parallax measurements put this system at a distance of roughly 256 light years.[1] It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −20.4 km/s.[4]
This is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F7V.[3] Because of the stability of this star, it is used as a standard in the photometric WBVR system.[9] The angular diameter of this star has been measured directly using the CHARA Array, yielding an estimate of 4.5 times the diameter of the Sun. Stellar models suggest a mass equal to about twice that of the Sun, with 25 times the Sun's luminosity.[3]
This is a young star with an estimated age of 1.3 billion years.[10] It is rotating rapidly, with a projected rotational velocity of 42 km/s.[7] The abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium is about the same as that in the Sun. The effective temperature of the stellar atmosphere is 6,089 K,[3] giving it the yellow-white hued glow of an F-type star.[10]
This star has been examined for the presence of an infrared excess, but no statistically significant amount was detected. The detection of such an excess can indicate the presence of a dusty circumstellar disk.[11]
