Kappa Boötis (κ Bootis, κ Boö) is the 4th magnitude star in the constellation Boötes. It was the 3rd member of an former asterism, Asellus by Johann Bayer, so called Aselles tertius [1] ( Latin for "the third Ass", later Asellus Tertius. It is approximately 155 light years from the Earth.
Kappa Boötis is a binary star system viewable in small telescope, with components separated by an angular distance of 13.4 ′.
