47 Aurigae is a star located around 680 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.88.[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −48 km/s, and is expected to come to within Template:Convert in around 3.6 million years.[2]
This object is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III,[3] having exhausted the hydrogen supply at its core then expanded to 36[1] times the Sun's radius. It is roughly two[4] billion years old with 1.4[4] times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 358[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,157 K.[4]
