λ Aquilae ( Lambda Aquilae , λ Aql) is a star in the constellation Eagle . He bears the proper name Al Thalimain Prior , while the star ι Aquilae (Iota Aquilae) is referred to as Al Thalimain Posterior . Al Thalimain (الثالمين, DMG aṯ-Ṯālimain ) is Arabic and means the (two) ostriches .

Lambda Aquila is a main sequence star belonging to the spectral class B9. The star is approximately 124 light years from Earth and has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.43  mag . It has about 2.8 times the mass, 2.3 times the radius and 84 times the luminosity of the sun, but rotates much faster than the sun once around its axis in less than 21 hours. Once its hydrogen supply in the nucleus is used up, it will go into the giant stage and finally end up as a white dwarf of 0.7 solar masses.
