53 Ophiuchi is a multiplestar system in theequatorial constellation ofOphiuchus . It is visible to the naked eye as a faint star with a combinedapparent visual magnitude of 5.80.[ 3] Located around 370 light years distant from the Sun based onparallax ,[ 1] it is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −14 km/s.[ 5] As of 2011, the visible components had anangular separation of 41.28″ along aposition angle of 190°.[ 12] The primary may itself be a close binary system with a separation of 0.3692″ and a magnitude difference of 3.97 at an infrared wavelength of 562 nm .[ 13]
The magnitude 5.82[ 3] primary, designated component Aa, is anA-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A2 V.[ 4] It has 2.5[ 7] times themass of the Sun and about 1.7[ 8] times theSun's radius . The star is radiating 56 times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 9,311 K.[ 7] The widely spaced secondary, designated component B, is a magnitude 7.8[ 3] A-type subgiant star with a class of A8 IV.[ 4]
