λ Ophiuchi, Latinized as Lambda Ophiuchi, is a triple star system[3] in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus.[9] It has the traditional name Marfik (/ˈmɑːrfɪk/),[10] which now applies exclusively to the primary component.[11] The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.82.[2] It is located approximately 173 light-years from the Sun, based on its parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of –16 km/s.[2]

The inner pair form a binary star[12] system with an orbital period of 192 years and an eccentricity of 0.611.[7] Both components are A-type main-sequence stars, indicating that they are generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. The brighter member of this pair, designated component A, is the primary for the system with a visual magnitude of 4.18[3] and a stellar classification of A0V.[4] The secondary, component B, is magnitude 5.22[3] and class A4V.[4] Component C is magnitude 11.0 and lies at an angular separation of 119 from the inner pair.[3]

Nomenclature

λ Ophiuchi is the system's Bayer designation. The designations of the three components as Lambda Ophiuchi A, B and C derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[13]

It bore the traditional name Marfik (or Marsik), from the Arabic مرفق marfiq "elbow". In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[14] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems.[15] It approved the name Marfik for the component Lambda Ophiuchi A on 12 September 2016 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[11]
