Omicron Boötis (ο Boötis) is a yellow-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. With an apparent visual magnitude of +4.60,[2] it is a fifth magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.42 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located about 243 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −9 km/s.[6]

At the age of 2.72 billion years,[4] this is an evolved G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8.5 III.[3] It belongs to the so-called "red clump", which indicates it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[8] Although it displays a higher abundance of barium than is normal for a star of its type, Williams (1975) considers its status as a Barium star to be "very doubtful".[9] The star has double[4] the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 85 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,864 K.[4]
