**HD 131040** is an [F-type main-sequence star](/source/F-type_main-sequence_star) in the northern [constellation](/source/Constellation) of [Boötes](/source/Bo%C3%B6tes). It has an [apparent magnitude](/source/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](/source/Radial_velocity) variations and an apparent over-luminosity have led to the theory that D 131040 is a [spectroscopic binary](/source/Spectroscopic_binary).[10]

Multiple star catalogues list a 10th-magnitude companion at an [angular separation](/source/Angular_separation) of 15.1[″](/source/Second_of_arc) along a [position angle](/source/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](/source/White_dwarf) 9.4" away, which is at a similar distance and has a similar [proper motion](/source/Proper_motion).[10]
