6 Boötis is a binary star[4] system in the northern constellation of Boötes,[8] located around 460 light years away from the Sun.[1] It has the Bayer designation e Boötis; 6 Boötis is the Flamsteed designation.[8] The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.92.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3 km/s.[2]

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 2.58 years and an eccentricity of 0.4.[4] The visible component is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] Its measured angular diameter is 2.53±0.12 mas.[9] At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 38 times the radius of the Sun.[5] The star is radiating 430[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,050 K.[6] Its companion is probably a low mass red dwarf of around class M8 V.[4]
