With an average apparent magnitude of +0.08, Capella is the brightest object in the constellation Auriga, the sixth-brightest star in the night sky, the third-brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere (after Arcturus and Vega), and the fourth-brightest visible to the naked eye from the latitude 40°N. It appears to be a rich yellowish ...
Epsilon Aurigae (ε Aurigae, abbreviated Epsilon Aur, ε Aur) is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Auriga, the charioteer.It is an unusual eclipsing binary system comprising an F0 supergiant (officially named Almaaz / æ l ˈ m ɑː z /, the traditional name for the system) and a companion which is generally accepted to be a huge dark disk orbiting an unknown object ...

This is a B-type giant star with a stellar classification of B8 III. [3] It has about 4.2 [ 7 ] and is spinning with a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 118 km/s. [ 8 ] The star is radiating 1,624 [ 6 ] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,361 K. [ 8 ]
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.
Psi 9 Aurigae, Latinised from ψ 9 Aurigae, is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.75. [ 2 ] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.59 mas , [ 1 ] the distance to this star is approximately 1,300 light-years (400 parsecs ).
Messier 38 or M38, also known as NGC 1912 or Starfish Cluster, [4] is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Auriga. It was discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654 and independently found by Le Gentil in 1749. The open clusters M36 and M37, also discovered by Hodierna, are often grouped together with M38. [5]
54 Aurigae is a multiple star system located around 800 light-years (51,000,000 AU) away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Auriga.It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.02. [5]
