BD Camelopardalis is a symbiotic star in the constellation Camelopardalis.

" On the basis of the measurement of radial velocities of the line components it is concluded that the helium emission originates in the vicinity of the inner Lagrangian point of the system, indicating a gas motion from the red giant primary, directed to the secondary, with a velocity of about 5 km/s. At the same time, there is a high-velocity, hot wind outwards from the primary red giant with a velocity of about 50 km/s. " -Shcherbakov, A. G. and Tuominen, I.

" However, HR 1105 appears to have a highly variable UV companion. In 1982, no UV flux was discerned for this system, but by 1986 C IV was strong, increasing by a factor of 3 in 1987 with prominent lines of Si III, C III, O III, Si IV, and N V. " - Ake, Thomas B., III; Johnson, Hollis R. and Perry, Benjamin F., Jr.
