This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V.[3] It is around 1.6 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 40 km/s. The star has 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and 1.46 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 3.3 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,435 K.[2] 45 Boötis is a source of X-ray emission.[10]
There is a magnitude 11.53 visual companion at an angular separation of 103.50″ along a position angle (PA) of 40°, as of 2012. A magnitude 10.23 star can be found at a separation of 247.90″ with a PA of 358°, as of 2015.[11]
