Epsilon Scorpii (ε Scorpii, abbreviated Eps Sco, ε Sco), formally named Larawag/ˈlærəwæɡ/,[11] is a star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +2.3,[2] making it the fifth-brightest member of the constellation. Parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission provide an estimated distance to this star of around 63.7 light-years (19.5 parsecs) from the Sun.[1]
Epsilon Scorpii has a stellar classification of K1 III,[4] which indicates it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and evolved into a giant star. Currently, is has expanded to 15.5 times the Sun's size and is emitting 54 times its luminosity.[7] Presently it is generating energy through the nuclear fusion of helium at its core, which, considering the star's composition, places it along an evolutionary branch termed the red clump.[12] The star's outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 4,580 K,[7] giving it the orange hue of a cool K-type star.
ε Scorpii is classified as a suspected variable star,[3] although a study of Hipparcos photometry showed a variation of no more than 0.01–0.02 magnitudes.[12] It is an X-ray source with a luminosity of (1.5–1.6) × 1027 erg s−1.[6][13]
