This was a trinary star system. It was organized into a single star system and a binary star system.
The primary of this system was Iota Leonis Aa. This was a F-type subgiant and one of the stars in the binary system. Its companion was Iota Leonis Ab, a F-type dwarf.
Orbiting this binary system, there was the tertiary companion Iota Leonis B. It was a G-type dwarf in a single star system. (ENT: "Cold Front")

Stellar cartography[]
The Argelius system was visible from Earth in the constellation Leo. This system was approximately 77 light years from Sol.
In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. This system's symbol had a blue color, indicating that it was affiliated with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Spock Amok", "A Quality of Mercy")
