Kappa Boötis (κ Boo, κ Boötis) is a double star in the constellation Boötes. It has the traditional name Asellus Tertius/əˈsɛləsˈtɜːrʃiəs/ (Latin for "third donkey colt")[13][14] and the Flamsteed designation 17 Boötis. The components are separated by an angular distance of 13.5 arcsec,[14] viewable in a small telescope. Kappa Boötis is approximately 155 light years from Earth.
κ2 Boötis, the brighter star of the pair, is also designated HD124675, while κ1 Boötis is HD124674. The two stars share the Bright Star Catalogue designation HR5328, but they have separate entries in the Hipparcos catalogue: HIP124675 and HIP124674 respectively.
Properties

κ1 Boötis is a spectroscopic binary star system. The visible primary is an F2 main sequence star, while the secondary is half the mass and much fainter.[16]
κ2 Boötis is classified as a Delta Scuti type variable star with a period of 1.08 hours[6] Its brightness varies from magnitude +4.50 to +4.58.[4] It is a slightly evolved A8 subgiant.
A 17th-magnitude star nearly two arc-minutes away has been identified as a member of the multiple system with an estimated orbital period of 177,000 years. It is itself a close binary with two similar low-mass stars in a 234-year orbit.[17]
Etymology
This star, along with the other Aselli (θ Boo and ι Boo) and λ Boo, were Aulād al Dhiʼbah (أولاد الضّباع - awlād al-ḍibā‘), "the Whelps of the Hyenas".[18]
In Chinese, 天槍 (Tiān Qiāng), meaning Celestial Spear, refers to an asterism consisting of κ (actually κ2) Boötis, ι Boötis and θ Boötis.[19] Consequently, the Chinese name for κ Boötis itself is 天槍一 (Tiān Qiāng yī, English: the First Star of Celestial Spear.)[20]
