19 Aurigae
Star in the constellation Auriga
19 Aurigae is a single[ 11] star located approximately 3,800 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation Auriga . It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.05.[ 3] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.3 km/s.[ 3]
This is an evolved A-type bright giant star with a stellar classification of A5 II+.[ 4] It is a variable star of unknown type that ranges in magnitude from 5.03 down to 5.09.[ 1] This star is an estimated 36[ 5] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 8 km/s.[ 9] It has 8[ 5] times the mass of the Sun and about 15[ 6] times the Sun's radius . 19 Aurigae is radiating 7,057[ 7] times the total luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,300 K.[ 8]
