Star in the constellation Boötes
24 Boötis or g Boötis is a single,[ 6] yellow-hued star in the constellation Boötes . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.59.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.59 mas ,[ 1] it is located around 308 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −8 km/s.[ 2] It is a thick disk star with a high galactic space velocity and an orbital eccentricity of 0.47± 0.01 that carries it as close as 3.30± 0.05 kpc to the Galactic Center , and as far away as 9.15± 0.02 kpc .[ 7] An extrasolar planet was discovered orbiting this star in 2018.[ 8]
This is an evolving red giant [ 7] star with a stellar classification of G4 III-IV Fe-1 ,[ 3] with the notation indicating the spectrum shows blended characteristics of a subgiant and giant star with an underabundance of iron. It has 1.46 times the mass of the Sun but has expanded to ten times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 55 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,959 K.[ 4]
Planetary system
24 Boötis b was discovered by Takuya Takarada and collaborators using the Doppler Spectroscopy method, during the Okayama Planet Search radial velocity survey of G and K giants at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory . The preprint announcing the discovery was published on the arXiv eprint repository on April 11, 2018.[ 8]
