Closeup of the NGC 6193 cluster, resolving HD 150136 and HD 150135

HD 150136 is listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog as having seven visual components within 30  arcseconds . Component A is a close triple system containing three massive class O main sequence stars. The brightest companion is catalogued individually as HD 150135 as well as component C of the multiple system, separated by only 10 arcseconds. It is another O class spectroscopic binary and also a member of NGC 6193. The other catalogued components are all 10th to 12th magnitude, similar to many other stars known to be members of NGC 6193. [7]

The primary star consists of a double-lined spectroscopic binary [4] with a more distant tertiary companion. The third star is orbiting the other two with a period of 8.2 years, an eccentricity of 0.73, and an inclination of 108°. The close binary stars are separated by hardly more than their own diameters and orbit in less than 3 days, but the third is separated enough to have been resolved visually by VLTI. The measured separation in 2012 was 9 milli-arcseconds, corresponding to 11-12 AU. [5]

Properties

All three (four, including HD 150135) of the brightest stars are massive luminous O class main sequence stars, 27 to 54 times as massive as the Sun. They are around 10 times the size of the Sun, but 6-8 times hotter and each is over 100,000 times as luminous. The primary star is the closest O3 star to Earth, 46,500  K , visually 18,000 times as bright as the sun, but because of its high temperature it is around three quarters of a million times more luminous including all wavelengths.
