HD 23523 (HR 1158) is a binary star[11] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.82,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. When resolved, the primary has an apparent magnitude of 6.31 while the secondary has a magntiude of 7.11.[3] The system is located relatively close at a distance of about 234 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it currently drifting closer with a somewhat heliocentric radial velocity of −9.6 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 23523's combined brightness is diminished by 0.16 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[12] and it has a combined absolute magnitude of +1.55.[7]

The system was first discovered to be a double star in 1996 by Marcel Carbillet and colleagues after speckle interferometry observations.[13] The stars are only about a tenth of an arcsecond apart,[3] making observing their individual properties difficult. The discovery paper suggested that the two components might be equal based on the dynamical mass.[13] Overall, HD 23523 has a stellar classification of A5 Vn,[4] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star with broad or nebulous absorption lines due to rapid rotation. The primary has a mass either 1.75 or 1.81 times the mass of the Sun while the companion has a mass 1.64 or 1.51 times that of the Sun,[9] depending on the approach.
