Phi Boötis
Phi Boötis is a single, yellow-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from φ Boötis, and abbreviated Phi Boo or φ Boo. This star is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.24. Based upon an annual parallax shift of as seen from the Earth, it is located from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.09 due to interstellar dust. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −10.6 km/s.
The stellar classification of Phi Boötis is, which would suggest it is an evolving G-type star that shows spectral traits of both a subgiant and a giant star. However, Alves has it listed as a member of the so-called "red clump", indicating that it is an aging giant star that is generating energy through helium fusion at its core. The 'Fe-2' suffix notation in its class means that it displays a significant underabundance of iron in its spectrum. Around three billion years old, Phi Boötis has an estimated 1.43 times the mass of the Sun and 5 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 17 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,945 K.
