171 Ophelia is a large, dark Themistian asteroid that was discovered by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly on 13 January 1877. It was named after Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet. This object is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 3.13 AU with an eccentricity of 0.13 and an orbital period of 5.54 years. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 2.55° to the plane of the ecliptic. This asteroid is a member of the Themis family of asteroids that share similar orbital elements. It probably has a primitive composition, similar to that of the carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The body spans a diameter of 131 km. An analysis of 40 light curves in 2015 suggested it has a convex, elongated shape with one end smaller than the other. A 1979 study of the Algol-like light curve produced by this asteroid concluded that it was possible to model the brightness variation by assuming a binary system with a circular orbit, a period of 13.146 hours, and an inclination of 15° to the line of sight from the Earth. Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Leura Observatory in Leura, Australia during 2006 gave a rotation period of 6.6666 ± 0.0002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.50 ± 0.02 in magnitude. This is in agreement with previous studies. Ophelia is also the name of a moon of Uranus.
