Star in the constellation Auriga
62 Aurigae is a
star located 559
[1]
light years away from the Sun in the northern
constellation of
Auriga .
[5] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an
apparent visual magnitude of 6.02.
[2] This object is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric
radial velocity of +25 km/s.
[1] It is an aging
giant star with a
stellar classification of K2 III,
[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its
core then expanded to 22
[1] times the
Sun's radius . 62 Aurigae is radiating 167
[1] times the
luminosity of the Sun from its swollen
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 4,389 K.
