Zeta2 Coronae Borealis (ζ2 CrB) is a star in the constellation Corona Borealis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.98. It itself is a spectroscopic binary system,[1] made up of two very similar blue-white main sequence stars. Orbit perturbations indicate a third star in the group. Zeta2 is separated by 6.4 arcseconds from Zeta1 Coronae Borealis.[3]
