14 Comae Berenices is a single [3] star in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices, and is the second brightest [8] member of the Coma Star Cluster. [3] It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.95. [2] Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of about 266 light years. [1]
The spectrum of this star is peculiar and it has been assigned a number of different stellar classifications: A5, F0p, F0 III Sr, F0 vp, [3] F1 IV: np Sr shell, [5] A9 IV np Sr II, [10] F1 IV, [11] and A9 V + shell. [12] Abt & Morrell (1995) designated this a Lambda Boötis star but this was later refuted. [10] No surface magnetic field has been detected on 14 Comae Bernices. [13]
14 Comae Berenices is a well-known [12] [8] shell star with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 226 km/s. [7] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 12% larger than the polar radius. [4] It is radiating 76 [5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,300 K. [8]
