Chi Boötis is a single,[10] white-hued star in the northern constellation Boötes, near the eastern constellation border with Corona Borealis. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinised from χ Boötis, and abbreviated Cho Boo or χ Boo. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.3.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from the Earth, it is located approximately Script error: No such module "convert". from Earth. 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[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 84[6] km/s. The star has double the mass of the Sun,[6] 2.24 times the Sun's radius,[7] and is emitting 37[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around Script error: No such module "val"..[6] 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 Script error: No such module "val"..[7]
