Pi Boötis

Pi Boötis, Latinized from π Boötis, is a probable triple star[10] system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.50.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.67[1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 310 light years from the Sun.

The brighter primary, component π1 Boötis, has a visual magnitude of 4.89[2] and a stellar classification of B9 IIIp (MnHgSi),[3] which suggests it is an evolved blue-white hued B-type giant star. It is a chemically peculiar star of the HgMn type,[8] with a spectrum that displays anomalous overabundances of mercury, manganese, and silicon.[3] This component is most likely a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an unknown companion.[10] Its magnitude 5.76[2] visible companion, π2 Boötis, is a white-hued A-type main-sequence star with a class of A6 V.[3] As of 2010, the pair were separated by 5.537±0.003 arcseconds on the sky along a position angle of 110.5°±0.5°. This corresponds to a projected separation of 538.6±47.7 AU. The odds that is a mere chance alignment is 0.85%.[10]

Pi Boötis has the Chinese traditional star name 左攝提二 (Zuǒ shè tí èr)
