# The 64 ν Oph system

64 ν Oph is a G9IIIa yellow giant in Ophiuchus, 150.7 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 1.76 to 5.83 AU. All of them were detected by radial velocity.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [ν Oph b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/nu-oph-b) | 1.76 | 529.9 d | 12.00 R⊕ | 7060 M⊕ | 621 K |
| [ν Oph c](https://spacecatalog.org/object/nu-oph-c) | 5.83 | 8.708 yr | 12.00 R⊕ | 7840 M⊕ | 341 K |

Every figure is the planet's composite parameter from the [NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems Composite Parameters)](https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=PSCompPars), one consistent set per world. Semi-major axes are orbits about the star, not distances from Earth.
