R Aurigae (R Aur) is a Mira variable, a pulsating red giant star in the constellation of Auriga, at a distance of Script error: No such module "val"..

In 1862 R Aurigae was found to be a variable star at Bonn Observatory.[9] It was widely observed in the late 19th century and its spectrum was described in 1890.[10] In 1907 it appeared with its variable star designation in Annie Jump Cannon's Second Catalogue of Variable Stars.[9] R Aurigae has an apparent visual magnitude which varies between 6.7 and 13.9 with a period of 450 days.[3] The light curve varies strongly from cycle to cycle, sometimes having a pronounced hump on the ascending branch and usually having rise and fall times approximately equal. The cycle period has oscillated slowly between about 450 and 465 days.

R Aurigae is catalogued as a component of a double star, with the 10th magnitude HD 233095, although the two stars are unrelated.[11]
