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.
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.
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] It was widely observed in the late 19th century and its spectrum was described in 1890. [10]
19 Aurigae is a single [11] star located approximately 3,800 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.05. [3] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.3 km/s. [3]
