Rho Capricorni (ρ Cap, ρ Capricorni) is a binary star[3] in the constellation Capricornus. Sometimes, this star is called by the name Bos, meaning the cow in Latin.[10] In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Ox (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of β Capricorni, α2 Capricorni, ξ2 Capricorni, π Capricorni, ο Capricorni and ρ Capricorni.[11] Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Capricorni itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx.)[12]

This system is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.78.[2] The pair orbit each other with a period of 278 years and an eccentricity of 0.91.[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 33.04 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the system is located about 99 light years from the Sun. It is a thin disk population[6] star system that made its closest approach to the Sun about 1.6 million years ago when it came within Script error: No such module "convert"..[13]

The primary member, component A, is a yellow-white hued, F-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of 4.97[3] and a stellar classification of F2 IV.[2] This star has 1.5[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.3 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 9 times[7] as much luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,911 K.[6] The companion, component B, has a visual magnitude of 6.88.[3] The mass ratio is 0.539, meaning the secondary is only 53.9% as massive as the primary.[14]
