λ Ophiuchi, Latinized as Lambda Ophiuchi, is a quadruple star system[8] in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It has the traditional name Marfik /ˈmɑːrfɪk/,[12] which now applies exclusively to the primary component.[13] 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]
