58 Ophiuchi is a single[9] star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.86.[1] This object is 56 light years away based on parallax,[2] and is drifting further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[5]

This is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5V.[3] It is 2.7[7] billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 12 km/s. The star has an estimated 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and 1.43 times the Sun's radius.[6] It is radiating three[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,305 K.[6]
