This is an Am star[7] with a stellar classification of kA7 hA8 mF2 (III) ((Sr II)),[3] showing the calcium K line of an A7 star, the hydrogen lines of an A8 star, and the metal lines of an F2 star. It has the luminosity class of a giant star and does not appear to be variable.[7] The star has twice[4] the mass of the Sun and four[1] times the Sun's radius. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 38[2] km/s. 22 Boötis is radiating 52[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,528 K.[1]
