Star system description: ν¹ CrB
A double or multiple star system in Corona Borealis.
Pair AB (356.1″; magnitudes 5.39 and 5.58) is the naked-eye candidate in the catalog model. Seeing both stars separately depends on sky and eyesight.
The diagram uses the latest WDS measurements; north is up and east is right. Measurements may be from different years. Unconnected groups are arranged separately; close pairs may merge, and pairs without reliable geometry are omitted.
