Delta Aurigae, Latinized from δ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for an astrometric binary [10] star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.715. [ 2 ]
HD 40873 is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga, a few degrees to the south of Delta Aurigae.Located around 455 light-years distant, [1] it shines with a luminosity approximately 38 times that of the Sun and has an effective temperature of 7,753 K. [6] It is a suspected variable star [2] and has a fairly rapid rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 134 km/s. [7]
It was given its variable star designation, V352 Aurigae, in 1981. [16] V352 Aurigae is a low amplitude Delta Scuti variable with a period of 4.1 hours, [4] which means the variability is caused by the rotation of the host star in combination with localized regions of activity. [17]
In 1966, Ivan John Danziger and Robert John Dickens discovered that 59 Aurigae star is a variable star. [10] This object is a Delta Scuti variable, meaning it varies in luminosity due to pulsations on its surface, ranging in magnitude from 5.94 down to 6.14 with a period of 0.154412 days (3.7 h). [6]
Gliese 268 (QY Aurigae) is a RS Canum Venaticorum variable (RS CVn) star in the Auriga constellation. RS CVn variables are binary star systems with a strong magnetic field influenced by each star's rotation, which is accelerated by the tidal effects of the other star in the system. [ 7 ]
Capella is the brightest star in the constellation of Auriga (upper left). α Aurigae (Latinised to Alpha Aurigae) is the star system's Bayer designation. It also has the Flamsteed designation 13 Aurigae. It is listed in several multiple star catalogues as ADS 3841, CCDM J05168+4559, and WDS J05167+4600.
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 ...
The star has a stellar classification of A0pSi, [3] with the 'pSi' suffix indicating it is a chemically peculiar star with an abnormal abundance of silicon. A light curve for Theta Aurigae, plotted from TESS data [17] The primary is classified an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum type variable star and has a surface magnetic field of about 1 kG. [9]
