HD 118889 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.57.[1] The system is located at a distance of approximately 196 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax,[2] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −26 km/s.[8]
The binary components of this system were first measured by S. W. Burnham in 1878 and it was given the discovery code BU 612.[12] The pair are orbiting each other with a period of 22.46 years with an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.545. The primary component is magnitude 6.35, with the secondary slightly fainter at magnitude 6.47.[3]
A third star, Script error: No such module "val". away, is a 12th-magnitude common-proper-motion companion. Any orbit would take over a thousand years.[11]
