32 Ophiuchi is a single[12] star located about 407[2] light years away from the Sun in the constellation Hercules. It is moving further away from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +43 km/s.[1] and is visible to the naked eye as a dim, red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.97.[1]

This is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch[4] with a stellar classification of M3−III.[5] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core it has expanded to 63 times the radius of the Sun.[8] The star is radiating over a thounsand times the luminosity of the Sun[7] from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of around 3,728 K.[10]

32 Ophiuchi is a suspected variable star with a brightness range of about 0.1 magnitudes.[6]
