21 Canum Venaticorum is a single[9] variable star[5] in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici, located 277 light years away from the Sun.[1] This object has the variable star designation BK Canum Venaticorum; 21 Canum Venaticorum is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint white-hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of +5.14.[2]

According to Garrison et al. (1994)[3] this is a B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B9 IV (Si), where the suffix notation indicates this is a Silicon star. Cowley et al. (1969) listed it with a class of A0 V Si:,[4] which would match an A-type main-sequence star with the ':' indicating some uncertainty in the classification. It is a marginally chemically-peculiar star[10] with weaker than normal helium absorption lines and displaying helium line variability.[11] The widths of the lines of ionized silicon vary with a period of 21.12 ± 0.48 hours.[12]

21 Canum Venaticorum is classified as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum type variable star and its brightness varies by 0.04 magnitudes over a period of 18.4 hours.[5] It is around 201 million years old and is spinning with a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 96 km/s.[7] The star has 2.73[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.8[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 72[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,036 K.[7]
