24 Comae Berenices is a triple star system in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It is visible to the naked eye, with the brightest component being an orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.03.[2] The system is located at a distance of approximately 269 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with radial velocities of 3–5 km/s.[2]
This system can be resolved in a telescope as a pair of stars with an angular separation of 20.2″ along a position angle of 272°, as of 2018.[10] They share a common motion through space and thus appear to be physically associated,[11] with a wide projected separation of 1,400 astronomical unit|AU or greater.[12] If they are bound in an orbit, the estimated period is approximately 28,000 years.[6]
The brighter member of this system is an aging giant or bright giant star with a stellar classification of K0II-III.[3] It has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to 20[1] times the girth of the Sun. This is a suspected variable that has been recorded ranging in brightness from magnitude 4.98 down to 5.06.[13] The star is radiating 173[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,688 K.[1]
The fainter component at magnitude 6.57[2] is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 7.33 days and an eccentricity of 0.26.[11] The primary member of this pair is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A9V.[3] It is a metallic-lined Am star[14] with 2.2 times the radius of the Sun.[5] The stars radiate about 16 and 7 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere, respectively, at effective temperatures of 7,630 and 7180 K, respectively.[5] Both have relatively low projected rotational velocity of around 14 km/s,[5] and it is suspected the rotations of this binary system may be synchronized.[15] The system is a source for X-ray emission, which is most likely coming from the secondary.[16]
