17 Comae Berenices (17 Com) is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. The brighter component, 17 Com A, is a naked eye star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.2.[2] It has a faint companion of magnitude 6.6,[6] 17 Com B, positioned at an angular separation of 146.4″ along a position angle of 251°, as of 2018.[17] They are located at a distance of approximately 240 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements.[1]
The double nature of this system was documented by F. G. W. Struve in 1836.[17] The pair share a common proper motion through space[13] and thus may be associated. Component B is itself a binary star system, although only the brighter component is visible in the spectrum.[11] The Washington Double Star Catalogue lists the companion as component C, with a magnitude of 13.7 and a separation of 1.4″.[17] 17 Com has been recognized as members of the Coma Star Cluster,[18] but this is disputed.[19]
The star 17 Com A was classified as chemically peculiar by A. J. Cannon prior to 1918.[20] W. W. Morgan in 1932 found the star's spectral lines varied in strength and appearance,[21] and detected lines of the element europium.[22] H. W. Babcock and T. G. Cowling measured the Zeeman effect in this star, demonstrating in 1953 that it has a magnetic field.[23] In 1967, E. P. J. van den Heuvel noted the blue excess of this star, suggesting it is a blue straggler.[24] G. W. Preston and associates in 1969 found that the luminosity and magnetic field of this star varied in strength with a time scale of around five days.[25]

17 Com A is a magnetic chemically peculiar Ap star with a stellar classification of A0p[5] or A0 SrCrEu,[2] with the latter indicating the spectrum shows abundance anomalies of the elements strontium, chromium, and europium. The level of silicon in the atmosphere is also enhanced[27] and it shows a significant helium deficiency.[5] It has the variable star designation of AI Com, and is classified as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable and a suspected Delta Scuti variable.[7] It has been identified as a suspected blue straggler.[13]
The primary has an estimated age of 101[12] million years and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 20 km/s.[5] It has more than double the mass and twice the radius of the Sun.[2][5] The magnetic field strength is 3,300±150 G.[5] It is radiating 43[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 10,000 K.[5][13]
The co-moving companion, component B, is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 68.3 days and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.3.[11] The visible member of this binary pair is a strong Am star[4] with a class of kA2hA9VmF0,[8] indicating it has the Calcium K-lines of an A0 star, the hydrogen lines of an A9 star, and the metallic lines of an F0 star.[28]
