HD 118285, also known as HR 5115, is a variable star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. DY Chamaeleontis (DY Cha) is its variable star designation. It has an average apparent magnitude of 6.32,[3] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 864 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 18 km/s.[8] At its current distance, HD 118285's brightness is diminished by 0.58 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[16]

HD 118285's variability was first observed in a 1998 Hipparcos survey focusing on the discovery of slowly pulsating B-type stars (SPB).[17] It was later confirmed to be an SPB star and given the variable designation DY Chamaeleontis.[18] It fluctuates between magnitudes 6.34 and 6.38 in the visual passband with a period of 23 hours.[4]

This is a slightly evolved B-type star with a stellar classification of B8 IV.[6] Contrary to the classification, stellar evolution models from Zorec and Royer (2012) model it as a dwarf star that has completed 89.1% of its main sequence life.[5] It has 3.6 times the mass of the Sun[5] and 5.5 times its girth.[10] It radiates 293 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,350 K,[5] giving it a bluish-white hue. It is estimated to be 309 million years old[13] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 67 km/s.[12]
