IC 405 (also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission and reflection nebula [1] in the constellation Auriga north of the celestial equator, surrounding the bluish, irregular variable star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0. Its celestial coordinates are RA 05 h 16.2 m dec +34° 28′. [2]
Upsilon Aurigae, Latinised from υ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a single [11] star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74, [2] which means it is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is approximately 500 light-years (150 parsecs) distant ...
AE Aurigae is a blue O-type main sequence star with a mean apparent magnitude of +6.0, making it faintly visible to the naked eye under very good observing conditions. It was discovered to be a variable star by Daniel Walter Morehouse , in 1923, and received its variable star designation in 1924. [ 9 ]
