Theta Cassiopeiae or θ Cassiopeiae is a solitary [3] star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It shares the traditional name Marfak /ˈmɑːrfæk/ with μ Cassiopeiae, positioned less than half a degree to the WSW, [11] which is derived from the Arabic term Al Marfik or Al Mirfaq (المرفق), meaning "the elbow". [12] At an apparent visual magnitude of 4.3, [2] Theta Cassiopeiae is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 24.42  mas, [1] it is located about 134  light years from the Sun. It has a total annual proper motion of 0.227  arcseconds per year, [13] and is slowly drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of 2.5 km/s. [5]

In Chinese, 閣道 (Gé Dào), meaning Flying Corridor, refers to an asterism consisting of θ Cassiopeiae, ι Cassiopeiae, ε Cassiopeiae, δ Cassiopeiae, ν Cassiopeiae and ο Cassiopeiae. [14] Consequently, θ Cassiopeiae itself is known as 閣道四 (Gé Dào sì, English: the Fourth Star of Flying Corridor.) [15]

This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A7 V. [3] The measured angular diameter of this star is 0.58±0.02  mas, [16] which, at the estimated distance of this star, yields a physical size of about 2.6 times the radius of the Sun. [8] It is about 650 [7] million years in age and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 103 km/s. [9] This is a candidate Vega-type system, which means it displays an infrared excess suggesting it has an orbiting debris disk. [17] It is a suspected Delta Scuti variable. [4]

The star appears to be a member of a leading tidal tail of the Hyades cluster. [18]
