HD 134064 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.03. [2] This system is located at a distance of 247 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, [1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of –7.0 km/s. [4]
The components of this system are orbiting each other with a period of eight years and a high orbital eccentricity of 0.45. [5] The pair are separated by an orbital distance of around 8,000 AU. [8] The primary component is a rapidly rotating A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A3Vnn. [2] It has 2.15 times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 185 km/s. [6] The secondary star has 73% of the Sun's mass. [8] The system is young, with an estimated age of 160 million years. [6]
