Part of the "X" structure that makes the head of Serpens (the Serpent), at the top of the western portion of constellation (Serpens Caput), lies otherwise unnamed Gamma Serpentis.
Gamma Ser, with otherwise rather normal abundances (a metal content about 2/3 solar), seems on the fringe of such peculiar stars with a weirdly low aluminum abundance and some heavy element anomalies as well.
Gamma Ser is often listed with two 11th magnitude companions ("B" and "C," located about 3 minutes of arc away.
