59 Aurigae , often abbreviated as59 Aur , is astar in theconstellation Auriga . Its baselineapparent magnitude is 6.1,[ 3] naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star. Based onparallax measurements, it is located about 483light-years (148parsecs ) away from the Sun.[ 2]
In 1966, Ivan John Danziger and Robert John Dickens discovered that 59 Aurigae star is avariable star .[ 10] Delta Scuti variable , meaning it varies in luminosity due to pulsations on its surface, ranging in magnitude from 5.94 down to 6.14 with a period of 0.154412 days (3.7 h).[ 6] variable star designation OX Aurigae .[ 11] spectrum matches that of anF-type main-sequence star and it has aspectral type of F2V.[ 4] [ 9] mass of the Sun and 5.7[ 2] [ 2] Sun's luminosity from itsphotosphere aneffective temperature of 6,808 K.[ 8]
