15 Lyncis is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Lynx. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.35.[2] Based on the system's parallax, it is located 178 light-years (54.7 parsecs) away.[1] The pair are moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +2 km/s.[6]

A telescope reveals it is formed by two yellowish stars of magnitudes 4.7 and 5.8 that are 0.9 arcseconds apart.[3] The two stars orbit each other every 262 years and the orbital eccentricity is 0.74.[7] The components are a magnitude 4.7 evolved giant star of spectral type G8III, and a magnitude 5.8 F-type main-sequence star of spectral type F8V.[4] The former has exhausted the hydrogen at its core, causing it to expand to 8 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 40 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,164 K.[6]
