AB Aurigae is a young Herbig Ae star [3] in the Auriga constellation. It is located at a distance of approximately 509 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax. [1] This pre-main-sequence star has a stellar classification of A0Ve, [4] matching an A-type main-sequence star with emission lines in the spectrum.
59 Aurigae, often abbreviated as 59 Aur, is a star in the constellation Auriga. Its baseline apparent magnitude is 6.1, [3] meaning it can just barely be seen with the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star. Based on parallax measurements, it is located about 483 light-years (148 parsecs) away from the Sun. [2]
Theta Aurigae (Latinized from θ Aurigae, abbreviated Theta Aur, θ Aur) is a binary star in the constellation of Auriga. Based upon parallax measurements, the distance to this system is about 166 light-years (51 parsecs). [1] The two components are designated Theta Aurigae A (also named Mahasim [10]) and B.
1 Aurigae is the original name for a star now in the constellation Perseus.It was the first entry in John Flamsteed's catalogue of stars in Auriga.When Eugène Joseph Delporte drew up simplified boundaries for the constellations on behalf of the International Astronomical Union in 1930, 1 Aurigae ended up over the border in Perseus.
Capella is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has the Bayer designation α Aurigae , which is Latinised to Alpha Aurigae and abbreviated Alpha Aur or α Aur . Capella is the sixth-brightest star in the night sky , and the third-brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere after Arcturus and Vega .
AR Aurigae (AR Aur), also known by its Flamsteed designation 17 Aurigae, is a binary star in the constellation Auriga. Based on parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is approximately 461 light-years from Earth. [10] Both components are blue-white B-type main-sequence stars that do not fill their Roche lobes.
UU Aurigae is a carbon star in the constellation Auriga. It is approximately 341 parsecs (1,110 light-years ) from Earth . It is a variable star that is occasionally bright enough to be seen by the naked eye under excellent observing conditions.
42 Aurigae is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga.The designation is from the star catalogue of English astronomer John Flamsteed, first published in 1712.It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.53, [2] which places it just below the visibility limit for normal eyesight under good seeing conditions.
