Psi3 Aurigae
Star in the constellation Auriga
Psi3 Aurigae , Latinized from ψ3 Aurigae, is a single,[ 10] blue-white hued star in the northern constellation of Auriga . It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.20.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.38 ± 0.39 mas as seen from the Earth,[ 1] it is approximately 1,370 light-years (420 parsecs ) distant from the Sun.
This is a B-type giant star with a stellar classification of B8 III.[ 3] It has about 4.2[ 7] and is spinning with a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 118 km/s.[ 8] The star is radiating 1,624[ 6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,361 K.[ 8]
