Nu1 Boötis (ν1 Boötis) is an orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.02, [2] which indicates the star is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.89  mas as seen from Earth, [5] it is located roughly 840  light years distant from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.13 due to interstellar dust. [11]

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4.5 IIIb Ba0.4. [3] The 'Ba0.4' suffix notation indicates this is a barium star, [12] which means that the stellar atmosphere has been enhanced by s-process elements most likely provided by what is now an orbiting white dwarf companion. [13] The giant component has 38±2 times the radius of the Sun. [7] It is radiating 1,626 [8] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 3,917 K. [9]

Ptolemy considered Nu1 Boötis to be shared by Hercules, and Bayer assigned it a designation in both constellations: Nu1 Boötis (ν1 Boo) and Psi1 Herculis (ψ1 Her). When the modern constellation boundaries were fixed in 1930, the latter designation dropped from use. [14]
