Binary star in the constellation Boötes
1 Boötis (1 Boo) is a binary star [ 3] system in the northern constellation of Boötes , located 318 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.71.[ 2] The pair had an angular separation of 4.660″ as of 2008. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −26 km/s.[ 5]
The magnitude 5.78[ 3] primary component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 V.[ 4] This star has 2.5[ 6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 56[ 6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,863 K.[ 6] It is 323[ 6] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 60 km/s.[ 4]
The system is a source for X-ray emission , which is most likely coming from the companion star. This magnitude 9.60[ 3] component is a possible pre-main sequence star with a mass similar to the Sun. It is radiating 76% of the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 6,370 K.[ 6]
