36 Ophiuchi is a multiple star system located about 19.5 light-years away in the southernmost part of the Constellation Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder or Snake Charmer -- south of Theta Ophiuchi. The system appears to be composed of three stars, of which Star C orbits the much closer binary pair of Stars AB.
36 Ophiuchi A
A main sequence orange-red dwarf (K0-1 Ve), the primary has only around 85 percent of Sol's mass[1], 81 percent of its diameter[2], 28 percent of its luminosity, and 50 to 98 percent of Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen (metallicity), based on its abundance of iron[3]. The orbital distance where an Earth-type planet would have liquid water is centered around 0.54 AU -- just beyond Mercury's orbital distance in the Solar System -- where a planet's period would be about 167 days or over one third of an Earth year. Based on an average parallax (0.1675") incorporating Hipparcos data, stars A and B are separated "on average" by about 88 AUs (of a semi-major axis) in a highly eccentric orbit (e= 0.922) that swings between seven and 169 AUs and takes around 570 years to complete[4].
36 Ophiuchi B
A main sequence orange-red dwarf (K1-5 Ve), star B has only about 85 percent of Sol's mass[1], 81 percent of its diameter[2], 27 percent of its luminosity, and 1.2 to 2.5 times Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen (metallicity), based on its abundance of iron[3]. The orbital distance where an Earth-type planet would have liquid water is centered around 0.53 AU -- just beyond the orbital distance of Mercury in the Solar System -- where the orbital period would be almost 163 days, or over a third of an Earth year.
36 Ophiuchi C
A main sequence orange-red dwarf (K5-6 Ve), star C has only about 71 percent of Sol's mass[1], 72 percent of its diameter[2], 8.7 percent percent of its luminosity, and 46 to 100 percent of Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen (metallicity), based on its abundance of iron[3]. It orbits the AB pair from around 4,370 to 5,390 AUs away and is a variable star. The orbital distance where an Earth-type planet would have liquid water is centered around 0.30 AU -- three-fourths of Mercury's orbital distance of in the Solar System -- where the orbital period would be over 76 days.
