42 Aurigae is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga.The designation is from the star catalogue of English astronomer John Flamsteed, first published in 1712.It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.53, [2] which places it just below the visibility limit for normal eyesight under good seeing conditions.
Mu Aurigae, Latinized as μ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for an unconfirmed binary star [12] in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.88. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.7218 ± 0.4971 mas as seen from Earth, [7] is located 157 light-years from the Sun.

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.
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.
MWC 480 is a single [4] star, about 500 light-years away in the constellation of Auriga. It is located in the Taurus-Auriga Star-Forming Region. [8] The name refers to the Mount Wilson Catalog of B and A stars with bright hydrogen lines in their spectra. [9] With an apparent magnitude of 7.62, [3] it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Nu Aurigae, Latinised from ν Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.96 [2] and is approximately 200 light-years (61 parsecs) distant from the Earth. [1] This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 III. [9]
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]
