Psi1 Aurigae (ψ1 Aur, ψ1 Aurigae) is a star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.91.[2] Based upon a measured annual parallax shift of 0.44 mas,[1] it is approximately 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) distant from the Earth. It is receding from the Sun with a radial velocity of +4.7 km/s.[5]
This is a massive supergiant star with a stellar classification of K5-M1Iab-Ib.[3] It is a slow irregular variable of the LC type, with its brightness varying in magnitude by 0.44.[4] The star is more than 14[8] times as massive as the Sun, over 900 times larger, and is blazing with 170,000 times the Sun's luminosity.[9] It is one of the largest stars known, even larger and more luminous than well-known red supergiants Betelgeuse and Antares. This energy is being radiated into outer space from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 3,790 K,[9] giving it the orange-red hue of a cool M-type star.
