    HD 118889 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.57.[2] The system is located at a distance of approximately 196 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −26 km/s.[8]

    The binary components of this system were first measured by S. W. Burnham in 1878 and it was given the discovery code BU 612.[12] The pair are orbiting each other with a period of 22.46 years with an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.545. The primary component is a magnitude 6.35[3] star with a stellar classification of F0V,[6] matching an F-type main-sequence star. It is an estimated 718[11] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 144[5] km/s. The star has 1.4–1.9 times the mass of the Sun. The secondary is slightly fainter at magnitude 6.47.[3]
