1 Boötis (1 Boo) is a binary star[3] system in the northern constellation of Boötes, located 318 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.71.[2] The pair had an angular separation of 4.660 as of 2008. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −26 km/s.[5]

The magnitude 5.78[3] primary component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 V.[4] This star has 2.5[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 56[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,863 K.[6] It is 323[6] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 60 km/s.[4]

The system is a source for X-ray emission, which is most likely coming from the companion star. This magnitude 9.60[3] component is a possible pre-main sequence star with a mass similar to the Sun. It is radiating 76% of the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 6,370 K.[6]
