It is drifting closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of -37.2 km/s, and is predicted to come within 30 light-years around 585,000 years from now.
Phi Ophiuchi, a name Latinized from φ Ophiuchi, is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It has a yellow hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.27. The star is located at a distance of approximately 244 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33.5 km/s.
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.
ι Ophiuchi, Latinized as Iota Ophiuchi, is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus, positioned near the constellation border with Hercules. It makes a naked-eye double with nearby Kappa Ophiuchi, appearing as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.39. The star is approximately 245 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −19 km/s.
