μ1 Boötis, which has the proper name Alkalurops

μ2 Boötis

Both systems are physically close to each other and have similar proper motions, which at first would suggest they are gravitationally bound, but their abundances of chemical elements are different, confirming that μ1 and μ2 are separate systems. Instead, they may be a close encounter between two binary systems.

Le peintre amoureux de son modèle
Le peintre amoureux de son modèle (French pronunciation: [lə pɛ̃tʁ amuʁø də sɔ̃ mɔdɛl], The Painter in Love with his Model) is an opéra comique in two acts by the composer Egidio Duni with a libretto by Louis Anseaume. It was first performed at the Théâtre de la Foire Saint-Laurent in Paris on 26 July 1757. The Italian Duni had been working at the court of Parma, where French culture was highly fashionable, and travelled to Paris to see the premiere of his opera. He remained in France for the rest of his career. Le peintre marked an important stage in the development of opéra comique, since its musical numbers were almost entirely original music, whereas previous opéras comiques employed either popular vaudevilles or ariettes appropriated from other works.

The melody of "Maudit Amour, raison sévère", one of the opera's ariettes, was used by Sweden's bard, Carl Michael Bellman, for his song "Glimmande nymf", one of his Fredman's Epistles published in 1790.
