Epsilon Coronae Borealis, Latinized from ε Coronae Borealis, is a multiple star system in the constellation Corona Borealis located around 230 light-years from the Solar System. It shines with a combined apparent magnitude of 4.13,[8] meaning it is visible to the unaided eye in all night skies except those brightly lit in inner city locations.[9] It is an orange giant around 1.7 times as massive as the Sun of spectral type K2III,[10] which has exhausted its core fuel supply of hydrogen and swollen to 21 times the Sun's diameter and 151 times its luminosity.[7] That is, Epsilon Coronae Borealis's diameter is about one-quarter of Mercury's orbit.[11] Its surface temperature has been calculated to be 4365 ± 9 K,[7] or 4406 ± 15 K.[10] It is thought to be around 1.74 billion years old.[10]
Epsilon Coronae Borealis B is a companion star thought to be an orange dwarf of spectral types K3V to K9V that orbits at a distance of 135 astronomical units, completing one orbit every 900 years.[11]
A faint (magnitude 11.5) star, 1.5 arc minutes away, has been called Epsilon Coronae Borealis C although it is only close by line of sight and is unrelated to the system.[11][12]
Epsilon Coronae Borealis lies one degree north of (and is used as a guide for) the variable T Coronae Borealis.[11]
Planetary system
The ε CrB star system's radial velocity was observed over seven years from January 2005 to January 2012, during which time a 'wobble' with a period of around 418 days was recorded. This has been calculated to be a planet around 6.7 times as massive as Jupiter orbiting at a distance of 1.3 astronomical units with an eccentricity of 0.11.[10]
