Artist's conception of the two component stars of 44 Boötis
44 Boötis can be resolved into two stars, of 5th and 6th magnitudes respectively. They were separated by 1.5″ when the pair were confirmed in 1819, but were only 0.2″ by 2020 as the two orbit every 210 years.[16][11]
The primary component, 44 Boötis A, is a yellow-white G-type main sequence dwarf with a mean apparent magnitude of +4.83. The companion component, 44 Boötis B, is a W Ursae Majoris variable spectroscopic binary. The variability of this star system was discovered by English astronomer William Herschel.[17] The brightness of the eclipsing binary varies from magnitude +5.8 to +6.40 with a period of 6.43 hours.[18] The two eclipsing components of the are close enough to allow their stellar envelopes to overlap, or at least nearly so.[10]
The 44 Boötis system is 42 light-years (13 parsecs) from Earth.[9] It also may show signs of an infrared excess, implying the existence of a dust disk that absorbs visible light and re-emits it as infrared light. The dust would have a blackbody temperature of about 23 K, situated up to 182 au from the parent star.[4]
