Kappa Boötis (κ Boo, κ Boötis) is a double star in the constellation Boötes. It has the traditional name Asellus Tertius (Latin for "third donkey colt")[1] and the Flamsteed designation 17 Boötis. The components are separated by an angular distance of 13.4, viewable in a small telescope. Kappa Boötis is approximately 155 light years from Earth.
This star, along with the other Aselli (θ Boo and ι Boo) and λ Boo, were Aulād al Dhiʼbah (أولاد الضّباع - aulād al dhiʼba), "the Whelps of the Hyenas".[2]
In Chinese, 梗河 (Tiān Qiāng), meaning Celestial Spear, refers to an asterism consisting of κ (actually κ2) Boötis, ι Boötis and θ Boötis.[3] Consequently, κ Boötis itself is known as 天槍一 (Tiān Qiāng yī, Template:Lang-en.)[4]
