Tau Boötis
Tau Boötis (τ Boo, τ Boötis) is an F-type main-sequence star approximately 51 light-years away〔 in the constellation of Boötes. The system is also a binary star system, with the secondary star being a red dwarf. As of 1999, an extrasolar planet has been confirmed to be orbiting the primary star. == Stellar components ==
The system is a binary. The primary component is a yellow-white dwarf (spectral type F7 V) and secondary is a dim red dwarf (spectral type M2 V). The system is relatively nearby, distance being about 51 light years. The primary star should be easily visible to the unaided eye under dark skies. The primary star, Tau Boötis A is a yellow-white dwarf. It is 20% more massive than our Sun and thus is somewhat brighter and hotter. It has a radius 1.9 times solar, and is probably about 1.3 billion years old. Since it is more massive than the Sun, its lifespan is shorter - less than 6 billion years. Tau Bootis is the first star apart from the sun to be observed changing the polarity of its magnetic field.〔 It is also listed as a suspected variable star. Tau Boötis B (with a capital B, as opposed to the planet) is a dim red dwarf orbiting the primary star at a distance of 240 AU. One orbit around the primary would take thousands of years to complete.
