HD 32188
Star in the constellation Auriga
HD 32188 is suspected variable star [ 4] in the northern constellation of Auriga , and is positioned roughly in between Eta and Zeta Aurigae . It has a white hue and is just barely visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 6.08.[ 2] The distance to this star is approximately 3,000 light years , based on parallax .[ 1] It has an absolute magnitude of −2.87.[ 3]
This object is an A-type giant star with a stellar classification of A2IIIshe.[ 3] The suffix notation indicates this is a shell star ,[ 9] which means it has a peculiar spectrum indicating there is a circumstellar disk of gas around the star's equator. While the spectral luminosity class is III, analysis of its colour and brightness suggest it more closely resembles a supergiant star.[ 3] HD 32188 has expanded to 30[ 1] times the radius of the Sun and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 23 km/s.[ 7] It is radiating 2,428[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,350 K.[ 1]
