32 Ophiuchi

32 Ophiuchi[5] is a single[6] star located 410[1] light years away from the Sun in the constellation Hercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.97.[2] This is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch[7] with a stellar classification of M3−III.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core it has expanded to 60[1] times the girth of the Sun. The star is radiating 614[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of around 3,712 K.[1] It is moving further away from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +43 km/s.[2]
