Star in the constellation Coma Berenices
14 Comae Berenices is a single[ 3] star in the northernconstellation ofComa Berenices , and is the second brightest[ 8] member of theComa Star Cluster .[ 3] It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.95.[ 2] Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of about 266 light years .[ 1]
Thespectrum of this star ispeculiar and it has been assigned a number of differentstellar classifications : A5, F0p,F0 III Sr , F0 vp,[ 3] F1 IV: np Sr shell ,[ 5] A9 IV np Sr II ,[ 10] F1 IV,[ 11] andA9 V + shell .[ 12] Abt & Morrell (1995) designated this aLambda Boötis star but this was later refuted.[ 10] Nosurface 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 aprojected rotational velocity of 226 km/s.[ 7] This is giving the star anoblate shape with anequatorial bulge that is 12% larger than the polar radius.[ 4] It is radiating 76[ 5] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 7,300 K.[ 8]
