Upsilon Ophiuchi is a triple star[12] system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It has a white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.62.[2] The distance to this system is approximately 134 light years based on parallax.[1] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30.6 km/s.[5]

The variable radial velocity of the brighter component was first observed by H. A. Abt in 1961. It is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 27.2 days and an eccentricity of 0.74.[6] They have a combined magnitude of 4.71. Both components are similar stars with a combined stellar classification of kA2hA5VmA5, and one or both are Am stars.[3] The third component has an 82.8 year orbit with the inner pair at an eccentricity of 0.45.[7] The system is a source for X-ray emission.[13]
