This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 V.[3] It is a source of X-ray emission, but early A-type stars are not expected to be an X-ray source so this may indicate it has an undetected companion.[9] 33 Boötis is 142[4] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 86 km/s.[4] The star has 2.25[4] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 21[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,176 K.[4]
