30 Ophiuchi is a single[ 10] star in theequatorial constellation ofOphiuchus , and figures 0.99° east (specificallyE½S ) of the heart of clusterMessier 10 .[ 11] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.82.[ 2] The distance to this star is approximately 350 light years based onparallax .[ 6] Its present motion is, net, one of approaching rather than parting, at −6.7 km/s, its "radial velocity ".[ 5]
This is an aginggiant star with astellar classification of K4III,[ 3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at itscore and expanded to 36[ 1] times theSun's radius . It is a suspectedvariable star .[ 12] The star is radiating 300[ 1] times theluminosity of the Sun from its swollenphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,009 K.[ 1] It is emitting a farinfrared excess due to circumstellar dust,[ 13] which extends out to a diameter of 240 AU and has a mass of 62× 1025 g .[ 14]
The primary presents with twovisual companions : B, at magnitude 9.71 and separation 99.8″, and C, at magnitude 8.75 and separation 220.9″ (3′ 40.9″) .[ 15]
