Comparison between observationally derived (Monnier et al. 2010) parameters of the star α Oph and our model.

Observations Model

Mass (M) 2.22
Req (R) 2.858 ± 0.015 2.865
Rpol (R) 2.388 ± 0.013 2.385
Teq (K) 7570 ± 124 7674
Tpol (K) 9384 ± 154 9236
L   (L) 31.3 ± 1 31.1
Veq (km s-1) 240 ± 12 242
Peq (days) 0.598
Ppol (days) 0.616
Xcore/Xenv 0.37

Notes.The mass fraction of hydrogen in the core is related to the age of the star. Peq and Ppol are the rotation periods in days at equator and pole as predicted by the model. A solar composition (X = 0.7, Z = 0.02) is assumed for the envelope.
