Summary
HD 111395 is a single,[12] variable star in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It has the variable star designation LW Com, short for LW Comae Berenices;[5] HD 111395 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation. The star has a yellow hue and is just bright enough to be barely visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 6.29.[3] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 55.8 light years from the Sun.[2] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −8.9 km/s.[6] It is a member of the Eta Chamaeleontis stellar kinematic group.[13]

This object is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G7V.[4] It is a BY Draconis variable that varies in brightness by about 0.10 magnitude over a period of 15.8 days,[5] which is interpreted as the rotation period of the star. (Messina et al. (2003) suspect the actual rotation period may be half that: 7.9 days.[14]) It has an active chromosphere[1] and is a source for X-ray emission.[15]
The star is around a billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 3.8 km/s.[7] It has slightly above solar metallicity − the term astronomers use for the relative abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium. The mass of the star is 8% greater than the Sun,[7] but it has 93% of the Sun's radius.[8] It is radiating 80% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5649 K.[8] An infrared excess indicates a cold debris disk is orbiting the star at a distance of 17.48 AU with a mean temperature of 60 K. The disk has an estimated mass of 5.86×10−6 M🜨.[9]
