HD 33541, also known as HR 1683, is a white-hued star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.83,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 358 light years[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 9.9 km/s.[4] At its current distance HD 33541's brightness is diminished by 0.16 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[14] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.58.[5]

The object has a stellar classification of A0 V,[3] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. It has 2.69 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 2.52 times the Sun's radius.[8] It radiates 69.3 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,200 K.[9] HD 33541 has an iron abundance 71% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.15)[10] and it is estimated to be 300 million years old.[12] The star spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s.[11]

HD 33541 was originally considered to be a solitary star.[15] However, Abt & Morell (1995) suggested that HD 33541 may be a close binary with two components that each have rotational velocities of 10 km/s.[16] A later paper gives the rotational velocity of the primary as 60 km/s and of the secondary 11 km/s.[17] It is now considered to be a spectroscopic binary with a period of 20.8 hours and a somewhat eccentric orbit based on Gaia DR3 models.[6]
