47 Ophiuchi (47 Oph) is a binary star in the constellation Serpens. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is 4.54.[2] The system is located about 98.1 light-years, or 30.1 parsecs away, based on its parallax as measured by Hipparcos.[1]
47 Ophiuchi is a
Doppler shifts in the stars' spectra can be detected. In this case, the two stars have also been resolved using interferometry.[3] The primary star is an F-type main-sequence star,[4] that is 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and around twice as wide.[3] Its companion star is 1.34 times the mass of the Sun, and 1.36 times the radius of the Sun.[3] The two stars orbit each other every 26.3 days, and its orbital eccentricity is 0.481.[3]
The designation 47 Ophiuchi was originally used for the star HR 6496.Serpens, and the designation became used for this star, HR 6493, instead.[7]
