45 Boötis is a single[ 6] [ 7] star located 63 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Boötes . It has the Bayer designation c Boötis ; 45 Boötis is the Flamsteed designation . This body is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93.[ 2] It has a relatively high proper motion , traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.247″ per year.[ 8] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s,[ 2] and is a stream member of the Ursa Major Moving Group .[ 9]
This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V.[ 3] It is around 1.6 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 40 km/s. The star has 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and 1.46 times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 3.3 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,435 K.[ 2] 45 Boötis is a source of X-ray emission .[ 10]
There is a magnitude 11.53 visual companion at an angular separation of 103.50″ along a position angle (PA) of 40°, as of 2012. A magnitude 10.23 star can be found at a separation of 247.90″ with a PA of 358°, as of 2015.[ 11]
