HR 244 is a single star in the constellation Cassiopeia. It has a yellow-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.80. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of $0.54$ from the Sun, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of $20.68$; around $62 light years$ ago it passed within 11.60 pc of the Sun. The star has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of $20.7 km/s$ per annum.

This object is an F-type star with a stellar classification of F9V. Despite the spectral class, evolutionary models show it to have left the main sequence and is now a subgiant. It is 5.3 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of $546,000 years$. The star has 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and 1.8 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 3.7 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of $0.183 arcseconds$.
