Theta Ophiuchi
Theta Ophiuchi (θ Oph, θ Ophiuchi) is a multiple star system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It lies on the "right foot" of the serpent-bearer, and is only a little to the southwest of the Kepler's Star, the nova of 1604. According to Richard H. Allen's, ''Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning'' (1899), θ Oph together with ξ Oph formed the Sogdian ''Wajrik'' "the Magician", the Khorasmian ''Markhashik'' "the Serpent-bitten" and with η Oph the Coptic ''Tshiō'', "the Snake", and ''Aggia'', "the Magician".〔 This star has an apparent visual magnitude of +3.26,〔 making it readily visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements from the Hipparcos mission, it is located at a distance of roughly from Earth.〔
Theta Ophiuchi appears to be a triple star system. The brightest component is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 56.71 days and an eccentricity of 0.17. The tertiary component is 5.5 magnitude star with a stellar classification of B5. It is located at an angular separation of 0.15 arcseconds from the binary pair.〔 This system is a proper motion member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, the nearest such co-moving association of massive stars to the Sun.〔
The primary component of this system is a variable star of the Beta Cephei type with a short period of just 3h 22m.〔 It has nearly nine〔 times the mass of the Sun and more than six〔 times the Sun's radius. Although only 21 million years old,〔 it has begun to evolve away from the main sequence and has become a subgiant star with a stellar classification of B2 IV.〔 This massive star is radiating around 5,000 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of about 22,260 K,〔 giving it the blue-white hue of a B-type star.〔
