Omega Aurigae is a double star[12] in the northern constellation of Auriga. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ω Aurigae, and abbreviated Omega Aur or ω Aur. This star has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.95,[3] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this system, as determined using parallax measurements, is approximately Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] It is receding from the Sun with a radial velocity of +8 km/s.[6] The system is a member of the Columba group of co-moving stars.[13]

The primary component is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 V.[5] It is 317[9] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 107 km/s.[8] The star has 2.3[4] times the mass of the Sun and double[7] the Sun's radius. It is radiating 27[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,230 K.[5] The object displays an infrared excess, suggesting an orbiting debris disk with a temperature of 20 K at a mean radius of Script error: No such module "val". from the host star.[7]

There is a magnitude 8.18 companion at an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val". along a position angle of 4.30°. This corresponds to a physical separation of Script error: No such module "val"..[10] The system is an X-ray source with a luminosity of Script error: No such module "val"..[14]
