67 Ophiuchi (67 Oph) is a class B5 Ib3 (blue supergiant) star in the constellation Ophiuchus. Its apparent magnitude is 3.932 and it is approximately 2,000 light years away based on spectroscopy.5 It is considered to be a member of the open cluster Collinder 359 (Melotte 186).
67 Oph has four companions. The closest is a magnitude 13.7 B1 main sequence star at 8.29", designated B. Component C (BD+02°3459) is the brightest close companion, a magnitude 8.1 B2 main sequence star at 54.32". Component D is a magnitude 12.5 star 8.37" from component C. Component E is a magnitude 10.9 star 46.53" from 67 Oph A.9
This star was once considered part of the obsolete constellation Taurus Poniatovii, but after the International Astronomical Union officially recognized constellations, it was placed in Ophiuchus.10
