HD 130948 or HP Boötis is a variable star with 2 brown dwarfs in the constellation Boötes. With an apparent magnitude of 6.0, it is faintly visible to the naked eye under very good observing conditions. It has a stellar classification of G1V, which means it is a main sequence star with a mass and surface temperature that are similar to the Sun.

The estimated age of HD 130948 is similar to the Sun at 4.7 billion years (Gyr) old, but it has a lower proportion of elements (63%) other than hydrogen or helium. However, a separate study in 2009 gave a much younger age of 0.5±0.3 Gyr and a higher metallicity that is very similar to the Sun.[16] The younger age was favored in a 2019 study, based on coevality with the brown dwarf companions.[13] Evolutionary models suggest that it is just reaching the end of its main sequence life.[3]

Eric J. Gaidos et al. observed the star in 1998 and 1999, and discovered that it is a variable star.[17] It was given its variable star designation, HP Boötis, in 2006.[7]

In 2002, a pair of co-orbiting brown dwarfs were discovered in orbit around this star, named HD 130948 B and HD 130948 C. They were found using an adaptive optics instrument on the Gemini North 8m telescope in Hawaii.[18] The brown dwarfs are similar to each other, with masses of 59.8±0.6 MJ and 56.3±0.5 MJ, radii of 1.00±0.01 RJ and 0.98±0.03 RJ, and temperatures of 1,950±30 K and 1,870±30 K for HD 130948 B and HD 130948 C, respectively.[15] They orbit around each other with a period of 3,656 ± 4 days (10.010 ± 0.011 years), and the orbit around the primary star is poorly constrained due to insufficient orbital coverage, with an period in the order of centuries to dozens of thousand of years.[9]

The space velocity components of this star through the Milky Way galaxy are (U, V, W) = (−14.0, 14.7, −0.1).[19]
