Eta Ophiuchi
Eta Ophiuchi (
Eta Ophiuchi is part of a multiple star system designated WDS J17104-1544. It itself is designated WDS J17104-1544AB and its two components WDS J17104-1544A (also called Sabik /ˈseɪbɪk/, the traditional name for the system)[8][9] and WDS J17104-1544B. The 'C' component is UCAC4 372-080717[10] and 'D' is UCAC2 26022336.[11]
Nomenclature
[edit]It bore the traditional name Sabik, from the Arabic السابق al-sābiq "the preceding one", of uncertain reference.[8] In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[13] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Sabik for the component WDS J17104-1544 A on 21 August 2016 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[9]
In Chinese, this star is considered part of
Namesake
[edit]USS Sabik (AK-121) was a United States Navy Crater class cargo ship named after the star.
Properties
[edit]Eta Ophiuchi is a binary system that is difficult to resolve in amateur telescopes but whose true nature was determined through use of more advanced techniques. The primary star (whose observational data make up the table in this article) is actually only slightly larger and hotter than its companion. Individually each star is a fairly unremarkable A class main sequence star, but as a binary pair they are unusual. Each star orbits around a common center in a close and highly elliptical orbit, making planetary formation unlikely in this system and some stellar data imprecise.[citation needed]
