Gamma Ophiuchi (γ Oph, γ Ophiuchi) is a fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is located about 95 light-years from Earth. The system has an age of roughly 184 million years.[1]
This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V.[1] It has nearly three times the mass of the Sun and 1.8 times the Sun's radius.[2] The star shines with 29[1] times the luminosity of the Sun, which is being emitted from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9506 K.[1] It is radiating an excess emission of infrared, suggesting the presence of a circumstellar disk of dust at an orbital radius of 64 AU from the host star.[1]
