	Auriga (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Auriga (Latin for chariot) is a northern constellation.
		Its brightest star is Capella, which is associated with the mythological she-goat Amalthea.
		ζ Aurigae has a period of 970 days, the primary is a (K-class) supergiant and the secondary is a (B-class) main sequence star.

	AE Aurigae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Trapezium, from where it was hurled (rather from near where, since the Trapezium was not yet born), AE Aurigae (in Auriga, the Charioteer) zips away to the north (perhaps in myth drawn by the speeding Chariot?), the two separating at some 200 kilometers per second.
		Pleiades in Taurus, AE is now passing through an unrelated interstellar cloud of gas and dust that it is illuminating (a chunk of which was apparently mistaken for a companion star).
		AE's fate is to explode as well...but as a single star which will someday be no more but for a lonely neutron star left behind.

		Auriga is an ancient northern hemisphere constellation and is home to one of the brightest stars in the night sky — Capella.
		Auriga is normally depicted as the “Charioteer”, holding a whip in one hand and a she goat (Capella) and her two kids in the other.
		Auriga, it appears, is being invaded by a former resident of the nearby Orion Nebula!

		Auriga, pronounced oh-RYE-gah, is home to one of the brightest stars in the northern sky, Capella.
		Auriga is positioned along the Milky Way so it contains no easily visible galaxies but there are lots of open clusters, diffuse nebulae and a few planetary nebulae that lie within the active spiral arms of our galaxy.
		AE Aurigae is located in the middle of the nebula.

		Auriga can be found between Taurus and the northern horizon on December to February evenings.
		In mythology, Auriga is portrayed as a charioteer holding a goat and kids, hence the name of Capella, meaning "little she-goat".
		The only bright planetary nebula in Auriga is NGC 2149 (5h 56.3m, +46 07'), located north of Beta Aur and west of Pi Aur.

	Runaway Stars
		Hipparcos and other data indicate that AE Aur and μCol have nearly equal space velocities with respect to the LSR and are traveling at nearly right angles to each other.
		AE Aur and μ Col computed to be at a minimum distance (50 ± 10 parsecs) some 4.4 million ± 500,000 years ago.
		Using the Hipparcos estimates for proper motion and distance, it now appears that AE Aurigae was not expelled from the same region as the other 2 stars.

		Auriga is usually identified with Phaethon, the son of the sun god Helios and Clymene.
		Another story tells that Auriga may represent Erichthonius (the fourth king of ancient Athens), whose lameness inspired him to invent the chariot.
		Large (18'x30') and faint, it shines by the light of the variable AE Aurigae (bottom center).

		This spectacular image of the star AE Aurigae and its surrounding nebulosity was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera.
		Located in the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer, AE Aurigae is the bright blue star at the center of the image.
		The incredible energy from this hot, massive star is energizing the surrounding gas, causing it to glow dramatically.

	Travis Rector: About AE Aurigae
		AE Aurigae was formed in the stellar nurseries in the constellation of Orion, and was flung out about 2.5 million year ago at fantastic speeds.
		In fact, AE Aurigae is flying through space at a velocity of about 100 km/sec, or about 220,000 miles an hour!
		The nebulosity surrounding AE Aurigae is not related to the star, it is simply a cloud of gas energized as AE Aurigae passes nearby.

		The star is both Beta Tauri and Gamma Aurigae.
		It is formally within the boundary of Taurus, however, so the name "Gamma Aurigae" is rarely used.
		AE Aurigae is a "runaway star" that was ejected from near Orion 's Trapezium Cluster 2.5 million years ago along with Mu Columbae in Columba, the Dove as a result of a binary interaction that also involved Na'ir al Saif (Iota Orionnis).

		As an unusual variable, AE is normally around 6th magnitude and resides approximately 1600 light years distant.
		Although the IC 405 is not directly related to AE, there is evidence within the nebula that areas have been cleared of their dust by the rapid northward motion of the star.
		AE's hot, blue illumination and high energy photons fuel what little gas is contained within the region as well as reflects off the surrounding dust.
