Chi Boötis, Latinised as χ Boötis, is a single,[11] white-hued star in the northern constellation Boötes, near the eastern constellation border with Corona Borealis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.3.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.0 mas as seen from the Earth, it is located about 251 light-years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −16 km/s.[5]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V,[3] which indicates it is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. It is about 340[7] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 84[7] km/s. The star has double the mass of the Sun,[7] 2.24 times the Sun's radius,[8] and is emitting 37[9] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 9,268 K.[7] It displays an infrared excess at an emission temperature of 65 K, indicating there is a circumstellar disk of dust orbiting the star at a distance of around 123 AU.[8]
