V1073 Scorpii is a variable star in the constellation Scorpius. It has a non-Greek Bayer designation of k Scorpii. The star has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around +4.87.[2] Parallax measurements yield a distance estimate of approximately 2,920 ly (896 pc) from the Sun, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +7 km/s.[5] It has an absolute magnitude of −6.8[6]
This object is a massive supergiant star with a stellar classification of B0.7 Ia.[3] It is an α Cygni variable;[12] a supergiant that pulsates erratically on a timescale of days to weeks with an amplitude of less than a tenth of a magnitude. A simplistic fitting of Hipparcos data suggests a periodicity of 1.6 days.[13][11] The star is around 4.2[8] million years old and is a member of the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Sco OB2 association.[14] V1073 Scorpii is considered a "runaway" star, showing a peculiar velocity of more than 37 km/s relative to its neighbourhood.[8] No bow shock has been detected from its motion through interstellar space.[15]
V1073 Sco has a 14th magnitude visual companion,[16] which is an unrelated background object according to its Gaia Data Release 2 parallax.[17]
