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 variable star is located in the constellation of Sagitta roughly 27,600 ly (8.5 kpc). [1] Current hypothesis and archival data suggest that Gaia17bpp belongs to a rare family of ultra-long period binary stars where the companion is enshrouded in large optically thick disks reminiscent of Epsilon Aurigae, VVV-WIT-07, and AS Leonis Minoris.

On their first encounter with Taurans, on a planet orbiting Epsilon Aurigae, their post-hypnotic training is triggered, which causes them to massacre the Taurans despite their lack of resistance. This first expedition, beginning in 1997, lasts only two years from the soldiers' point of view, but due to time dilation , they return to Earth in ...
Examples of eclipsing binaries are Epsilon Aurigae (Almaaz), VV Cephei, and V766 Centauri (HR 5171). Angular diameter measurements can be inconsistent because the boundary of the very tenuous atmosphere differs depending on the wavelength of light in which the star is observed. [citation needed]
J1407b is a substellar object, either a free-floating planet or brown dwarf, with a massive circumplanetary disk or ring system.It was first detected by automated telescopes in 2007 when its disk eclipsed the star V1400 Centauri, causing a series of dimming events for 56 days.
