Its baseline apparent magnitude is 6.1, [3] meaning it can just barely be seen with the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star. Based on parallax measurements, it is located about 483 light-years (148 parsecs) away from the Sun. [2]
14 Aurigae is a quadruple star system located 269 [2] light years away from the Sun in the zodiac constellation of Auriga. It has the variable star designation KW Aurigae, whereas 14 Aurigae is the Flamsteed designation. [9] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.01. [3]
