HD 130917

HD 130917 is a single star[9] in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A4V.[3] At an apparent magnitude of 5.80,[3] it is visible to the naked eye under very dark skies.

HD 130917 is over twice as massive as the Sun and hotter at 8,610 K.[7] At an age of 454 million years,[2] it is still on the main sequence[4] but has expanded somewhat to three times the radius of the Sun and is now 43 times more luminous than the Sun.[7]
