39 Boötis is atriple star [ 3] system located around 224[ 1] light years away from the Sun in the northernconstellation ofBoötes .[ 10] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with a combinedapparent magnitude of 5.68.[ 2] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −31 km/s.[ 5]
The magnitude 6.36[ 3] primary, component A, is actually a double-linedspectroscopic binary system with anorbital period of 12.822 days, aneccentricity of 0.39,[ 7] and anangular separation of 2.021 mas . It has a combinedstellar classification of F8V,[ 4] matching anF-type main-sequence star , with individual massed of 1.29 and 1.05[ 8] times themass of the Sun . Component B is of magnitude 6.72[ 3] with a class of F7V[ 4] and 1.25[ 8] solar masses. The A–B pair have a separation of 2.9″ and a period of 1,347.653 years.[ 8] This system is a source ofX-ray emission with aluminosity of 41.4× 1028 erg s−1 .[ 11]
It was a transferred byJérôme Lalande fromBoötes toQuadrans Muralis .[ 12] Later when theInternational Astronomical Union officially recognised constellations, Quadrans Muralis becameobsolete , so this star was moved back to Boötes.
