This is a white A-type bright giant with a stellar classification of A4II/III.[3] It is one of the brighter members of this rare class of stars, making it of interest for study.[8] Omicron Scorpii has about eight times the mass of the Sun, fifteen times the radius,[5] and is roughly 40 million years old.[3] The star is radiating around 3,200 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of about 8,128 K.[2] It does not display an infrared excess due to circumstellar dust or a possible infrared-bright companion, but the light from this star is subject to extinction from interstellar dust.[8]
Omicron Scorpii was occasionally mentioned as a possible member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group in the Scorpius–Centaurus OB association during the 20th century.[2] However, it does not appear in more recent membership lists for this group[9] due to its small proper motion and small trigonometric parallax as measured by Hipparcos. This suggests that it is a background star unrelated to Scorpius–Centaurus.

Омикрон Скорпиона (ο Sco, ο Scorpii) — звезда в южном зодиакальном созвездии Скорпиона. Обладает видимой звёздной величиной +4,57[2] и является достаточно яркой для наблюдения невооружённым глазом. Измерения параллакса привели к оценке расстояния от Солнца до звезды 900 световых лет. Звезда расположена вблизи тёмного облака Ро Змееносца.[9]
