SIMBAD data

HD 130144 (or EK Boötis) is a semiregular variable star in the northern constellation of Boötes. The variation in luminosity has an amplitude of 0.38 in magnitude with no apparent periodicity. This is an X-ray source, and was possibly the first M-type giant star to have a magnetic field directly detected. It is considered to be a single star,[3] although there is nearby companion at an angular separation of 0.2023 along a position angle of 82.2° (as of 2010.4812).[7]
