11 Comae Berenices is a

apparent visual magnitude of 4.72.[2] This body is moving away from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +44 km/s.[2]

The primary component is an aging

along a position angle of 44°, as of 2007.[8]

Planetary system

A substellar companion was discovered orbiting the primary star in 2007 using the

radial velocity method. It has a period of 326 days with minimum mass of about 19.4 Jupiter masses and is orbiting around 1.3 AU from the host star with an eccentricity of 0.23. The object's mass is well within the range of deuterium-fusing brown dwarfs.[9][10]
