Upsilon Boötis (υ Boötis) is a single,[9] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is a fourth[2] magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.38 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located about 263 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −6 km/s.[4]
This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K5.5 III.[3] Astroseismology was used to obtain a mass estimate of 1.11 times the mass of the Sun,[6] while interferometric measurements give a size of about 38[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 332[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,920 K.[6]
