70 Ophiuchi

Primary of Keret.

70 Ophiuchi a binary star system located 16.6 light years away from the Earth. It is in the constellation Ophiuchus.

The primary star is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf BY Draconis variable of spectral type K0, and the secondary star is an orange main sequence dwarf of spectral type K4. The two stars orbit each other at an average distance of 23.2 AUs. But since the orbit is highly elliptical (at e=0.499), the separation between the two varies from 11.4 to 34.8 AUs, with one orbit taking 83.38 years to complete.
