19 Aurigae is a single[10] star located approximately 3,600 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.05.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.3 km/s.[2]

This is an evolved A-type bright giant star with a stellar classification of A5 II+.[3] It is a variable star of unknown type that ranges in magnitude from 5.03 down to 5.09.[11] This star is an estimated 36[4] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 8 km/s.[8] It has 8[4] times the mass of the Sun and about 15[5] times the Sun's radius. 19 Aurigae is radiating 7,057[6] times the total luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,300 K.[7]
