HR 6902 (also designated V2291 Oph) is a binary system located 790 light years away[2] from the Sun in the Ophiuchus constellation. The system includes an orange bright giant star and a B-type main sequence star, forming an eclipsing binary of Zeta Aurigae type. The system is also surrounded by a warm circumstellar envelope and the spectra show silicon and carbon absorption up to a distance of 3.3 giant radii.[4]
