Star in the constellation Boötes
22 Boötis is a single[ 6] star in the northern constellation of Boötes ,[ 5] located 319 light years away from the Sun.[ 1] It has the Bayer designation f Boötis ; 22 Boötis is the Flamsteed designation .[ 5] This object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.40.[ 2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −27 km/s.[ 2]
This is an Am star [ 7] with a stellar classification of kA7 hA8 mF2 (III) ((Sr II)),[ 3] showing the calcium K line of an A7 star, the hydrogen lines of an A8 star, and the metal lines of an F2 star. It has the luminosity class of a giant star and does not appear to be variable.[ 7] The star has twice[ 4] the mass of the Sun and four[ 1] times the Sun's radius . It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 38[ 2] km/s. 22 Boötis is radiating 52[ 1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,528 K.[ 1]
