32 Boötis is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Boötes,[7] located 360 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.55.[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s.[2] It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.195 arc seconds per annum.[9]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III.[3] It is most likely on the horizontal branch and is a candidate red clump giant.[5] The star is an estimated 1.46[4] billion years old with 2.15[4] times the mass of the Sun. With the hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has expanded to 12[1] times the Sun's radius. 32 Boötis is radiating 79[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4958 K.[1]
