47 Boötis is a binary star[9] system in the northern constellation of Boötes,[8] located 261 light years away from the Sun.[1] It has the Bayer designation k Boötis; 47 Boötis is the Flamsteed designation.[8] The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.58.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −13 km/s.[2]

The primary member of the system, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 Vs.[4] The 's' indicates sharp lines as it has a moderate rotation rate with a projected rotational velocity of 55 km/s.[2] It is a suspected variable star of unknown type.[10] The star has 2.46[3] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 46[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,130 K.[2]

The companion, component B, is a magnitude 13.3 star located at an angular separation of 6.2 arcseconds away from the primary.[9]
