FK Comae Berenices is a variable star that varies in apparent magnitude between 8.14 and 8.33 over a period of 2.4 days. It is the prototype for the FK Comae Berenices class of variable stars. The variability of FK Com stars may be caused by large, cool spots on the rotating surfaces of the stars. This star is thought to be the result of a recent binary merger, resulting in a high rate of both spin and magnetic activity.

HD 155035 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the constellation Ara, the Altar. It is located at a distance of approximately 1,450 light-years from Earth and has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.92, making it is faintly visible to the naked eye.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">R Arae</span> Variable star in the constellation Ara

R Arae is an Algol-type eclipsing binary in the constellation Ara. Located approximately 298 parsecs (970 ly) distant, it normally shines at magnitude 6.17, but during eclipses can fall as low as magnitude 7.32. It has been suggested by multiple studies that mass transfer is occurring between the two stars of this system, and the period of eclipses seems to be increasing over time. The primary is a blue-white main sequence star of spectral type B5V that is 5 times as massive as the Sun, while the secondary is a yellow-white star of spectral type F1IV that is 1.5 times as massive as the Sun. Stellar material is being stripped off the secondary and accreting on the primary.
