It is a massive star with 37.6 times the <a href="Solar_mass" title="Solar mass">mass of the Sun</a> and 32.5 times the <a href="Solar_radius" title="Solar radius">Sun's radius</a>. The <a href="Effective_temperature" title="Effective temperature">effective temperature</a> of the outer envelope is 29,000 K; much hotter than the Sun's effective temperature of 5,778 K, giving it the characteristic blue hue of an O-type star.<sup id="cite_ref-csiro_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-csiro-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is emitting 676,000 times the <a href="Solar_luminosity" title="Solar luminosity">luminosity of the Sun</a> and is a weak X-ray emitter.<sup id="cite_ref-aj72_1019_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aj72_1019-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It has a high rate of spin, showing a <a href="Projected_rotational_velocity" class="mw-redirect" title="Projected rotational velocity">projected rotational velocity</a> of 100 km/s.<sup id="cite_ref-repolust_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-repolust-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Variations in the profiles of Alpha Camelopardalis' spectral lines are caused by fluctuations in the <a href="Photosphere" title="Photosphere">photosphere</a> and <a href="Stellar_wind" title="Stellar wind">stellar wind</a>. This may be caused by non-radial pulsations. The <a href="Absorption_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Absorption line">absorption lines</a> in the optical spectrum show radial velocity variations, although there is significant uncertainty about the period. Estimates range from a period as low as 0.36 days up to 2.93 days. The <a href="Stellar_wind" title="Stellar wind">stellar wind</a> from this star is not smooth and continuous, but instead shows a behavior indicating clumping at both large and small scales.<sup id="cite_ref-aaa457_3_987_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aaa457_3_987-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This star is losing mass rapidly through its stellar wind at a rate of approximately <span class="nowrap">6.3<span style="margin-left:0.25em;margin-right:0.15em;">×</span>10<sup>−6</sup></span> <a href="Solar_mass" title="Solar mass">solar masses</a> per year,<sup id="cite_ref-aaa385_479_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aaa385_479-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or the equivalent of the mass of the Sun every 160,000 years.

</p><p>In 1968, this star was classified as a <a href="Spectroscopic_binary" class="mw-redirect" title="Spectroscopic binary">spectroscopic binary</a>, indicating that it has an orbiting stellar companion with a period of 3.68 days and an <a href="Orbital_eccentricity" title="Orbital eccentricity">orbital eccentricity</a> of 0.45. Subsequent studies refined the period to 3.24 days. However, in 2006 it was recognized that the changes in the spectrum were probably the result of changes in the atmosphere or stellar wind, so it is more likely a single star.<sup id="cite_ref-apj655_1_473_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-apj655_1_473-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Speckle interferometry observations with the <a href="3.67_m_Advanced_Electro_Optical_System_Telescope" title="3.67 m Advanced Electro Optical System Telescope">3.67 m Advanced Electro Optical System Telescope</a> at the <a href="Haleakala_Observatory" class="mw-redirect" title="Haleakala Observatory">Haleakala Observatory</a> failed to detect a secondary component.<sup id="cite_ref-aj136_2_554_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aj136_2_554-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
