Lambda Aurigae (λ Aur, λ Aurigae) is the Bayer designation for a solar analog[11] star in the northern constellation of Auriga.[12] It has the traditional name Al Hurr[13] and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.71.[2] Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is approximately 41.2 light-years (12.6 parsecs) distant from the Earth.[1]
This is a G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G1 V.[3] In terms of composition it is similar to the Sun, while the mass and radius are slightly larger.[5] It is 73% more luminous than the Sun[3] and radiates this energy from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,890 K.[7] At this heat, the star glows with the yellow hue of a G-type star.[14] It has a low level of surface activity and is a candidate Maunder minimum analog.[15]
Lambda Aurigae has been examined for the presence of excess infrared emission that may indicate the presence of a circumstellar disk of dust, but no significant surplus has been observed.[11] It is a possible member of the Epsilon Indi Moving Group of stars that share a common motion through space. The space velocity components of this star are [U, V, W] = [+76, –39, –6] km/s.[16]
Name
This star is sometimes called by the name Al Hurr, meaning the fawn in Arabic.[13] Lambda Aurigae, along with μ Aur and ρ Aur, were Kazwini's Al Ḣibāʽ (ألحباع), the Tent.[13] According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Al Ḣibāʽ were the title for three stars : λ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ I, μ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ II and ρ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ III.[17]
In Chinese, 咸池 (Xián Chí), meaning Pool of Harmony, refers to an asterism consisting of λ Aurigae, ρ Aurigae and HD 36041.[18] Consequently, λ Aurigae itself is known as 咸池三 (Xián Chí sān, English: the Third Star of Pool of Harmony.)[19]
