Chi Aurigae, Latinized from χ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74.[2] The annual parallax shift of this object is much smaller than the measurement error, making distance estimates by that means unreliable.[1] The estimated distance to this star is approximately 3,000 light years. The brightness of the star is diminished by 1.26 in magnitude from extinction caused by intervening gas and dust.[5]
Chi Aurigae is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 676.85 d and an eccentricity of 0.12.[9] The primary component of this system is a supergiant star with a stellar classification of B5 Iab.[3] It has a stellar wind that is causing mass loss at the rate of 0.38–0.46 × 10−9 solar masses per year, or the equivalent of the Sun's mass every 2.4 billion years.[6]
