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 .
16 Aurigae is a triple star [12] system located 232 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Auriga.It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.547, [13] and is located about 2/3 of the way from Capella toward Beta Tauri.
R Aurigae (R Aur) is a Mira variable, a pulsating red giant star in the constellation of Auriga, at a distance of 930 light years.. In 1862 R Aurigae was found to be a variable star at Bonn Observatory. [9]
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 .
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.
Beta Aurigae (Latinized from β Aurigae, abbreviated Beta Aur, β Aur), officially named Menkalinan / m ɛ ŋ ˈ k æ l ɪ n æ n /, [10] [11] is a binary star [12] system in the northern constellation of Auriga. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the system is 1.9, [4] making it the second-brightest member of the constellation after ...
Eta Aurigae (η Aurigae, abbreviated Eta Aur, η Aur), officially named Haedus / ˈ h iː d ə s /, [10] [11] is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga.With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.18, [2] it is visible to the naked eye.
9 Aurigae (9 Aur) is a star system in Auriga (constellation).It has an apparent magnitude of about 5, making it visible to the naked eye in many suburban skies. [15] Parallax estimates made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at about 86 light-years (26 parsecs) from the solar system, [1] although individual Gaia Data Release 3 parallaxes place all three components at 88 light years.
