36 Ophiuchi B

36 Ophiuchi B

UAS designation Larkus Nor

Larkus Nor is a Union star formally known as Ophiuchi B. It is a companion star to 36 Ophiuchi A.

There are six planets associated to Larkus Nor,none ofn the worlds are life supporting gardenworlds. All six planets are within thhe hot zone of the star and all are coccupied and utilized. 36 Ophiuchi A (UAS :Larkus) and Larkus Nor combined are the Larkus AB system.

The planets associated to Larkus Nor are:

Nor-A

Class B space port

Nor-F
A main sequence orange-red dwarf (K1-2 Ve ), star B has only about 85 percent of Sol's mass (RECONS estimate), 81 percent of its diameter (Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 689), 27 percent of its luminosity, and 1.2 to 2.5 times Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen (metallicity), based on its abundance of iron (Cayrel de Strobel et al, 1991, page 301), but the difference between Stars A and B are probably not real given their likely birth from the same nebula. Likewise, they should be roughly the same age. Some useful star catalogue numbers include: 36 Oph B, HR 6401, Gl 663 B, CD-26 12026 B, CP(D)-26 5858 B, HD 155885, SAO 185199, LFT 1331, LTT 6872, LHS 438, and ADS 10417 B.

Habitable Zone around Star B

With a spectral type of K2, Epsilon Eridani can be used as a rough proxy for 36 Ophiuchi B (K1-2). The distance from Epsilon Eridani where an Earth-type rocky planet may have liquid water on its surface has been estimated to be between 0.47 and 0.91 AU (Jones and Sleep, 2003) -- between the orbital distances of Mercury and Earth in the Solar System. In that distance range from the star, such a planet would have an orbital period shorter an Earth year. According to alternative calculations performed for the NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, the inner edge of Epsilon Eridani's habitable zone could be slightly farther out from the star at around 0.507 AUs from the star, while the outer edge lies even farther out at around 1.005 AUs. Given the apparent youth of this star system, however, it is likely that only primitive, single-celled organisms like bacteria that can survive heavy meteorite or cometary bombardment would be likely to survive on any Earth-type planet that has cooled sufficiently to allow carbon-based lifeforms to develop.
