Rho Boötis, Latinised from ρ Boötis, is a single,[8] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.59.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 160 light-years (49 parsecs) from Earth. It is moving toward the Sun with a radial velocity of −13.6 km/s.[4] There is an optical companion, a magnitude 11.5 star, located 34.7 arcseconds away along a position angle of 345° (as of 2013).[9]

This is an evolved K-type giant star, currently on the red-giant branch, with a stellar classification of K4 III[3] and an estimated age of 10[6] billion years. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified.[10] It has around 1.2[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 22[5] times the Sun's girth. The star is radiating 132[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,300 K.[5] Rho Boötis is classified as a RS Canum Venaticorum variable.[11] Koen and Eyer examined the Hipparcos data for this star, and found that it varied with a period of 5.214 days, and an amplitude of 0.0027 magnitudes.[12]


Nomenclature


Rho Boötis is known by several different names, including ρ Boo, 25 Boötis, BD+31° 2628, FK5 534, HD 127665, HIP 71053, HR 5429, and SAO 64202.[13] In Chinese, 梗河 (Gěng Hé), meaning Celestial Lance, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Boötis, ε Boötis and σ Boötis.[14] Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Boötis itself is 梗河三 (Gěng Hé sān, English: the Third Star of Celestial Lance).[15]

Rho Bootis (ρ Boo / 25 Bootis / HD 127665)[1] es una estrella en la constelación de Boyero de magnitud aparente +3,57. Forma una doble óptica con σ Bootis, siendo la separación entre ambas de 52 minutos de arco. En realidad no forman un verdadero sistema binario, pues mientras Rho Bootis se encuentra a 149 años luz del Sistema Solar, σ Bootis se encuentra a un tercio de esta distancia.
