Upsilon Boötis is a single,[9] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from υ Boötis, and abbreviated Upsilon Boo or υ Boo. This is a fourth[2] magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located about Script error: No such module "convert". distant. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −6 km/s.[4]

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K5.5 III.[3] Astroseismology was used to obtain a mass estimate of 1.11 times the mass of the Sun,[6] while interferometric measurements give a size of about 38[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 332[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,920 K.[6] The star is roughly 10[7] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.1 km/s.[4]
