46 Boötis is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes, located mid-way between α Coronae Borealis and ε Boötis.[5] It has the Bayer designation b Boötis; 46 Boötis is the Flamsteed designation.[8] The system lies 478 light-years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.67.[2] It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +19 km/s.[2] The light from this system displays an unusually high level of polarization due to interstellar dust.[5]

This article is about b Boötis. It is not to be confused with β (Beta) Boötis.

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 7.03 years and a large eccentricity of 0.83.[5] The primary member, designated component A, is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K2 III.[3] As a consequence of exhausting the hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 23[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 176[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,349 K.[1] The companion star, component B, is most likely a lower main-sequence star with 0.6–0.8 times the Sun's mass.[6]
