HD 89571 (HR 4062) is a binary star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent magnitude of 5.51 and is estimated to be 142 light years away from the Solar System. However, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 3.5 km/s.
The primary has a stellar classification of A9 V, indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. David S. Evans gave it a slightly warmer class of A6 V while Cowley et al. classified it as F0 IV, indicating a F-type subgiant. Nevertheless, the two components take roughly 2 years to orbit each other at a mean separation of 14.2 mas.
The components have masses of 1.69 M☉ and 0.38 M☉, with the latter being a probable M-type star. HD 89571 has a radius of 1.79 R☉ and a luminosity of 8.4 L☉. This yields an effective temperature of 7,535 K, giving a white hue. It is estimated to be 710 million years old and spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 134 km/s; it has a near solar metallicity, equating to an iron abundance 110% that of the Sun.
