Phi Boötis is a single,[9] yellow-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from φ Boötis, and abbreviated Phi Boo or φ Boo. This star is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.24.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located Script error: No such module "convert". from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.09 due to interstellar dust.[6] It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −10.6 km/s.[5]

The stellar classification of Phi Boötis is G7 III-IV Fe-2,[4] which would suggest it is an evolving G-type star that shows spectral traits of both a subgiant and a giant star. However, Alves (2000) has it listed as a member of the so-called "red clump", indicating that it is an aging giant star that is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[3] The 'Fe-2' suffix notation in its class means that it displays a significant underabundance of iron in its spectrum. Around three billion years old,[6] Phi Boötis has an estimated 1.43[6] times the mass of the Sun and 5[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 17[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,945 K.[7]
