32 Boötis is a single[8]star in the northernconstellation ofBoötes,[7] located 360 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.55.[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −23 km/s.[2] It has a relatively highproper motion, traversing thecelestial sphere at the rate of 0.195 arc seconds per annum.[9]
This is an aginggiant star with astellar classification of G8 III.[3] It is most likely on thehorizontal branch and is a candidatered clump giant.[5] The star is an estimated 1.46[4] billion years old with 2.15[4] times themass of the Sun. With the hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has expanded to 12[1] times theSun's radius. 32 Boötis is radiating 79[1] times theluminosity of the Sun from its swollenphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4958 K.[1]
