36 Ophiuchi is a triple star system 19.5 light years away from Earth. It is in constellation Ophiuchus.

The primary and secondary stars are nearly identical orange main sequence dwarves of spectral type K0/K1 and the tertiary star is an orange main sequence dwarf of spectral type K5.

Star C is separated from the A-B pair by 700 arc seconds, compared to a minimum of 4.6 arcsec for A-B, so it has a negligible effect on the movements of the A-B pair. Both A and B have active chromospheres.

Hunt for substellar objects

McDonald Observatory team has set limits to the presence of one or more planets [2] around 36 Ophiuchi A with masses between 0.13 and 5.4 Jupiter masses and average separations spanning between 0.05 and 5.2 Astronomical Units, although the outermost stable orbits around either 36 Ophiuchi A or 36 Ophiuchi B are possible not beyond 1.5 Astronomical Units [3].
