π Aurigae (center) in optical light

Pi Aurigae, Latinized from π Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a single,[10] red-hued star in the northern constellation of Auriga. Located about one degree north of the 2nd magnitude star Beta Aurigae,[11] Pi Aurigae is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.25[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 780 light-years (240 parsecs) away from Earth.[1] At that distance, the brightness of the star is diminished by 0.54 in magnitude from extinction caused by interstellar gas and dust.[6]

Pi Aurigae is an evolved bright giant star with a stellar classification of M3 II.[4] After exhausting the supply of hydrogen at its core the star has expanded to approximately 127[1] times the girth of the Sun. It is classified as a slow irregular variable of type LC and its brightness varies from magnitude +4.24 to +4.34.[5] On average, the star is radiating 6,493[12] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,388 K.[8]
