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 on the movements of the A-B pair. Both A and B have active chromospheres.

36 Ophiuchi in fiction

In Frank Herbert's Dune universe, the planet Giedi Prime orbits 36 Ophiuchi B.
