HD 131040 is an F-type main-sequence star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.51 and is 170 light years away.
The brightness of HD 131040 has been reported to vary slightly by 0.04 magnitudes.[9] Radial velocity variations and an apparent over-luminosity have led to the theory that D 131040 is a spectroscopic binary.[10]
Multiple star catalogues list a 10th-magnitude companion at an angular separation of 15.1″ along a position angle of 93°, and a 14th-magnitude companion at a separation of 62".[11] Neither is thought to be physically associated with HD 131040, but there is a possible white dwarf 9.4" away, which is at a similar distance and has a similar proper motion.[10]
