67 Ophiuchi (67 Oph) is a class B5 Ib [3] (blue supergiant) star in the constellation Ophiuchus. Its apparent magnitude is 3.93 [2] and it is approximately 2,000 light years away based on spectroscopy. [5] It is considered to be a member of the open cluster Collinder 359 (Melotte 186).
67 Oph has four companions. The closest is a magnitude 13.7 B1 main sequence star at 8.29", designated B. Component C (BD+02°3459) is the brightest close companion, a magnitude 8.1 B2 main sequence star at 54.32". Component D is a magnitude 12.5 star 8.37" from component C. Component E is a magnitude 10.9 star 46.53" from 67 Oph A. [9]
This star was once considered part of the obsolete constellation Taurus Poniatovii, but after the International Astronomical Union officially recognized constellations, it was placed in Ophiuchus. [10]
68 Ophiuchi is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.42. The system is located around 89.69 parsecs (292.5 ly) distant from the Sun, based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.
ε Monocerotis, Latinised as Epsilon Monocerotis, is the Bayer designation of a binary star system in the equatorial constellation Monoceros. Its location is a guide for sky navigation toward the Rosette Nebula.
3 Monocerotis is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros, located approximately 780 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.92. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +39 km/s.
HD 102839 is a class G6Ib star in the constellation Musca. Its apparent magnitude is 4.98 and it is approximately 1,550 light years away from Earth based on parallax.
Sigma Ophiuchi, Latinized from σ Ophiuchi, is a single, orange-hued star in the equatorial constellation Ophiuchus. Its apparent visual magnitude is 4.31, which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The annual parallax shift of 3.62 mas as seen from Earth provides a distance estimate of roughly 900 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −28 km/s.
Upsilon Ophiuchi is a triple star system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It has a white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.62. The distance to this system is approximately 134 light years based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30.6 km/s.
71 Ophiuchi is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.64. The star is located approximately 273 light years away from the Sun based on parallax, and is moving closer with a radial velocity of −3 km/s.
41 Ophiuchi is a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Ophiuchus, and is positioned less than half a degree to the south of the celestial equator. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.72. The distance to this system is approximately 202 light years based on parallax.
Tau Ophiuchi is a multiple star in the constellation Ophiuchus, approximately 167 light years away based on parallax. Its two main components are two yellow-white main sequence stars, A, of magnitude 5.24 and class F2V, and B, of magnitude 5.94 and class F5V, orbiting each other with a period of 257 years and eccentricity around 0.77. A is reported as a spectroscopic binary with a smaller star of 0.29 solar masses orbiting it every 186 days. An additional component, C, has a separation of 100.8" and magnitude 11.28.
66 Ophiuchi is a binary variable star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It has the variable star designation V2048 Ophiuchi, while 66 Ophiuchi is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued point of light with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.60. It is located approximately 650 light years away from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −13 km/s. The star has a peculiar velocity of 13.1±3.2 km/s relative to its neighbors.
30 Ophiuchi is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus, and figures 0.99° east of the heart of cluster Messier 10. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82. The distance to this star is approximately 350 light years based on parallax. Its present motion is, net, one of approaching rather than parting, at −6.7 km/s, its "radial velocity".
11 Orionis is a solitary Ap star in the equatorial constellation of Orion, near the border with Taurus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.65, and it is located approximately 365 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. The star is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +16.8 km/s.
