Zeta Aurigae , or ζ Aurigae , is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Auriga . Based upon parallax measurements, this system is approximately 860 light-years (260 parsecs ) distant from the Sun .[6] It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 3.75,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The two components are designated Zeta Aurigae A (officially named Saclateni ,[12] an old misspelling of "Sadatoni")[citation needed ] and B.
Nomenclature [ edit ]
ζ Aurigae (Latinised to Zeta Aurigae ) is the system's Bayer designation . The designations of the two components as ζ Aurigae A and B derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems , and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[13]
The system bore the traditional names Haedus I (also Hoedus ) and Sadatoni (rarely Saclateni ).[14] It was one of the two haedi (Latin : 'kids') of the she-goat Capella , the other being Haedus II, Eta Aurigae . The name Sadatoni is from the Arabic الساعد الثاني as-sāc id aθ-θānī "the second arm (of the charioteer)". The rare traditional name Azaleh is shared (in the form Hassaleh ) with Iota Aurigae .[15] In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[16] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems .[17] It approved the names Saclateni for the component Zeta Aurigae A and Haedus for Eta Aurigae on 30 June 2017 and they are both now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[12]
In Chinese , 柱 (Zhù ), meaning Pillars , refers to an asterism consisting of Zeta Aurigae, Epsilon Aurigae , Eta Aurigae, Upsilon Aurigae , Nu Aurigae , Tau Aurigae , Chi Aurigae and 26 Aurigae .[18] Consequently, the Chinese name for Zeta Aurigae itself is 柱二 (Zhù èr , English: the Second Star of Pillars .)[19]
Properties [ edit ]

Zeta Aurigae was first recognized as a spectroscopic binary by William Hammond Wright while analyzing photographic plates taken at Lick Observatory between 1898 and 1908. This star is among those earlier described by Antonia Maury as having a composite spectrum .[21] The first orbit was determined in 1924 by William Edmund Harper using measurements taken at Dominion Observatory , his orbital elements are very similar to the most recent determinations. Harper also noticed that the composite nature of the spectrum had disappeared on the one plate when the K type primary was nearest the sun indicating a possible eclipse .[22] In 1932 the eclipsing binary nature of the system was confirmed by Paul Guthnick , Heribert Schneller and independently Josef Hopmann .[23]
The orbital plane of this eclipsing system is oriented close to the line of sight from the Earth, with an inclination estimated as 87.0°.[8] As a result, an eclipse of one star by the other occurs during each orbit, causing the net magnitude to decrease to +3.99. The pair have an orbital period of 972 days (2.66 years) and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.4.[8] The primary, component A, has been categorized as a K-type bright giant or supergiant star . Its companion, component B, is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification B5 V or B7 V.[8] [4] Because component B has a much hotter photosphere than component A, component B produces most of the system's ultraviolet light. This causes the brightness change seen during the eclipses (when B is obscured) to be much greater in ultraviolet light than it is in visible light.
