Psi4 Aurigae is a single,[10] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Auriga. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ψ4 Aurigae, and abbreviated Psi4 Aur or ψ4 Aur. This star is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.02.[3] With an annual parallax shift of Template:Val,[2] it is approximately Template:Convert distant from Earth. The star is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −77 km/s,[5] and may approach to within Template:Cvt in around 1.1 million years.[1]
This is a evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K5 III,[4] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core. With nearly the same mass as the Sun,[6] it has expanded to 25 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 182 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,158 K.[6] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4.8 km/s.[5] This is an α–enhanced star, displaying a significant enhancement of silicon in its atmosphere.[11]
Psi4 Aurigae was part of a much bigger constellation named Telescopium Herschelii before that asterism was no longer recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
