Nu1 Boötis

Nu1 Boötis (ν1 Boötis) is an orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.02,[2] which indicates the star is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.89 mas as seen from Earth,[5] it is located roughly 840 light years distant from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.13 due to interstellar dust.[11]

For other stars with this Bayer designation, see ν Boötis.

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4.5 IIIb Ba0.4.[3] The 'Ba0.4' suffix notation indicates this is a barium star,[12] which means that the stellar atmosphere has been enhanced by s-process elements most likely provided by what is now an orbiting white dwarf companion.[13] The giant component has 38 ± 2 times the radius of the Sun.[7] It is radiating 1,626[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 3,917 K.[9]
