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]
