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 .
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 .
AE Aurigae (abbreviated as AE Aur) is a runaway star in the constellation Auriga; it lights the Flaming Star Nebula. Description. Hipparcos light curves for AE ...
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.
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.
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]
The star has 2.3 [3] times the mass of the Sun and double [7] the Sun's radius. It is radiating 27 [ 6 ] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,230 K. [ 4 ] The object displays an infrared excess , suggesting an orbiting debris disk with a temperature of 20 K at a mean radius of 932.40 AU from the host ...
Lambda Aurigae, Latinized from λ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a solar analog [9] star in the northern constellation of Auriga. [13] It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.71. [2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 40.7 light-years (12.5 parsecs) distant from the Earth. [14]
