Theta Aurigae ( θ Aurigae / θ Aurigae ) is an approximately 170 light years away in Ap - star in the constellation Auriga like with an apparent brightness of about 2.7. At a distance of just under 4 seconds of arc a potential companion star of spectral type G2 V with an apparent magnitude of 7.2 is like. If it is a binary system, the orbital period in the range of 700 years would be to settle.
