37 Comae Berenices is a variable star system located around 690[2] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices.[9] It has the variable star designation LU Comae Berenices. 37 Comae Berenices was a later Flamsteed designation of 13 Canum Venaticorum.[10] This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.88.[3] It is drifting closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −14 km/s.[8]

Tokovinin (2008) catalogued this as a wide triple star system.[4] The primary component is an aging giant star, currently in the Hertzsprung gap,[4] with a stellar classification of G9 III CH-2 CN-1.[5] It is a weak G-band star,[4] a luminous giant star with a carbon abundance about a factor of 5 lower than is typical for such stars.[11] This is a variable star most likely of the RS CVn type with an amplitude of 0.15 in magnitude,[7] and it displays magnetic activity.[4] It has 5.25 times the mass of the Sun and, having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, has expanded to 38 times the Sun's radius.[3]
