9 Boötis is a single,[9] variable star in the northern constellation of Boötes,[8] located around 630 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.0. This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −41 km/s.[1]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III,[4] which indicates it has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved of the main sequence. As a consequence, its outer atmosphere has swollen to 44 times the radius of the Sun.[2] It is a suspected irregular variable that ranges in photographic magnitude from 6.1 down to 6.6.[5][10] 9 Boötis is considered mildly lithium-rich with a moderate level of chromospheric activity.[11] It is radiating 857 times the luminosity of the Sun[2] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,197 K.[7]
