HD 127726 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. The pair consist of a rapidly-rotating A-type main-sequence star and a fainter F-type companion, orbiting each other with a period of 29.93 years and an orbital eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.16. They have a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.88, which is bright enough to be dimly visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of approximately 240 light years from the Sun.
