Sigma Coronae Borealis is a multiple star system in the constellation Corona Borealis, the main components of which are three sunlike stars. Appearing as a single star of apparent magnitude 5.64 to the unaided eye, Sigma can be separated into Sigma and Sigma when observed with a telescope. The two take 726 years to orbit each other. Sigma is a yellow main sequence star of spectral type G1V and weighing around 1 solar mass. Sigma is a spectroscopic binary system composed of two stars very close (6 solar radii) together that orbit each other every 1.14 days.
