HD 106760 is a single-lined spectroscopic binary[8] star system in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.99.[2] The system is located around 318 light years away, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 10.2417 mas.[1] It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −40 km/s, and is expected to come as close as 259 ly in about 772,000 years.[2]
The variable radial velocity of HD 106760 was announced by W. W. Campbell of Lick Observatory in 1922, indicating the binary nature of this system. A preliminary orbit was determined by Mount Wilson Observatory astronomer W. H. Christie in 1936, then refined by English astronomer R. F. Griffin in 1984.[8] The components of this system orbit each other with a period of 3.6 years and an eccentricity of 0.43.[4]
The visible component has a stellar classification of K0.5 III–IIIb,[3] indicating it is an evolved K-type giant star. It is around 1.6 billion years old with 1.9 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 17 times the Sun's radius.[5] The star is radiating 112[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,581 K.[5]
