11 Boötis (HR 5263; HD 122405) is a spectroscopic binary located in the northern constellation Boötes, the herdsman. With an apparent magnitude of 6.22,[3] it is barely visible to the naked eye even under ideal conditions. The system is located relatively close to the Solar System at a distance of 332 light years,[2] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −24 km/s.[6] At its current distance, 11 Boötis' brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of only 0.03 magnitudes,[12] and it has an absolute visual magnitude of +1.44.[1]

The visible component has a stellar classification of A7 III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved A-type giant star. It has 1.94 times the mass of the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius of 2.46 R. It radiates 63.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[2] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,997 K,[8] giving it a white hue when viewed in the night sky. 11 Boötis is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance 95.5% that of the Sun,[9] and it spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 123 km/s. It is estimated to be 914 million years old.[8] According to Gaia DR3 models, 11 Boötis is a single-lined spectroscopic binary. Both components take 142.54 days to circle around each other in an eccentric orbit.[7]
