18 Boötis is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Boötes,[8] located about 85 light years away from the Sun.[2] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.41.[1] This object is a suspected member of the Ursa Major Moving Group, based on velocity criteria.[10] It has a magnitude 10.84 optical companion at an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val". along a position angle of 219°, as of 2010.[11]

This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F3 V.[3] Older surveys gave a class of F5 IV,[12] showing the luminosity class of a subgiant star. It shows strong evidence for short-term chromospheric variability, although it is not optically variable.[13]

18 Boötis is an estimated 1.15[4] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 40.5 km/s.[7] It has 1.3[4] times the mass of the Sun and 1.4[5] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 3.9[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,731 K.[4] An infrared excess has been detected that suggests a cold debris disk is orbiting Script error: No such module "val". from the host star with a blackbody temperature fit of 65 K.[5]
