58 Ophiuchi
Star in the constellation Ophiuchus
58 Ophiuchi is a single[ 9] star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus . It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.86.[ 2] This object is approximately 57.6 light years away based on parallax ,[ 1] and is drifting further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[ 5]
This is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5V.[ 3] It is 2.7[ 7] billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 12 km/s. The star has an estimated 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and 1.43 times the Sun's radius .[ 6] It is radiating three[ 2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,305 K.[ 6]
