[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]
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]
