Omega Aurigae, Latinized from ω Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a double star[11] in the northern constellation of Auriga. Its apparent magnitude is 4.95,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this system, as determined using parallax measurements, is approximately 162 light-years (50 parsecs).[1] The system is a member of the Columba group of co-moving stars.[12]

This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 V.[4] It is 317[9] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 107 km/s.[8] The star has 2.3[3] times the mass of the Sun and double[7] the Sun's radius. It is radiating 27[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,230 K.[4] The object displays an infrared excess, suggesting an orbiting debris disk with a temperature of 20 K at a mean radius of 932.40 AU from the host star.[7] It has a magnitude 8.18 companion at an angular separation of 4.99 arcseconds.[11] The system is an X-ray source with a luminosity of 16.57×1029 ergs s−1.[13]
