V1073 Scorpiiis avariable starin theconstellationScorpius.It has a non-GreekBayer designationof k Scorpii. The star has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitudethat fluctuates around +4.87.[2]Parallaxmeasurements yield a distance estimate of approximately 2,920ly(896pc) from the Sun, and it is drifting further away with aradial velocityof +7 km/s.[5]It has anabsolute magnitudeof −6.8[6]

This object is a massivesupergiant starwith astellar classificationof B0.7 Ia.[3]It is anα Cygni variable;[12]a supergiant that pulsates erratically on a timescale of days to weeks with an amplitude of less than a tenth of a magnitude. A simplistic fitting of Hipparcos data suggests a periodicity of 1.6 days.[13][11]The star is around 4.2[8]million years old and is a member of the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Sco OB2 association.[14]V1073 Scorpii is considered a "runaway" star, showing apeculiar velocityof more than 37 km/s relative to its neighbourhood.[8]No bow shock has been detected from its motion through interstellar space.[15]
V1073 Sco has a 14th magnitude visual companion,[16]which is an unrelated background object according to itsGaia Data Release 2parallax.[17]
