11 Comae Berenices (11 Com) is an orange giant K0 III star in the constellation of Coma Berenices, located in the sky, east and slightly north of Denebola in Leo, but not nearly as far east as ε Virginis in Virgo. It is about a degree from the elliptical galaxy M85 and two degrees north of the spiral galaxy M100. Its apparent magnitude is 4.74.
11 Com is a low metallicity star with an iron abundance about half that of the Sun.[2]
11 Com has a substellar companion with a minimum mass of about 19.4 Jupiter masses orbiting at about 1.3 AU around it. The object's mass is well within the range of deuterium burning brown dwarfs.[4][5]
