ZZ Boötis is a star system in the constellation Boötes. It varies from magnitude 6.79 to 7.44 over five days.[10] Based on its parallax, measured by the Gaia spacecraft, it is about 350 light-years (110 parsecs) away.[2]

Observational history

In 1950 Grigory Shajn determined that this star is a double-lined spectroscopic binary, with an approximate period of 4.96 days. Sergei Gaposchkin found from an examination of photographic plates, in 1951, that it was an Algol-type eclipsing binary system.[11] The primary and secondary eclipses are of equal depth, 0.65 magnitudes, meaning the brightness drops by nearly half.[3] The eclipses make up only 6% of the orbital period.[10]

ZZ Boötis is a binary star system, specifically an eclipsing binary.[10] The component stars appear to be of almost equal mass, differing by only 3%.[5]
