5 Aurigae is a triple star[7] system in the northern constellation of Auriga,[10] located about 195 light years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is just visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.95.[2] The system is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +6 km/s,[6] having come within 62.4 light-years some 8.7 million years ago.[2]

This was initially discovered to be a binary star system by Otto Struve. The outer pair has an orbital period of 1,598 years with an eccentricity of 0.536.[7] The magnitude 6.02[3] primary, component A, is itself a binary system consisting of two stars of similar mass, roughly 1.5 times the mass of the Sun each, with an orbital period of 8.08 years.[11] It has a stellar classification of F5 V,[4] matching an F-type main-sequence star.

As of 2017, component B is a magnitude 9.50 star at an angular separation of 4.10″ from the primary along a position angle of 285°.[3]
