HD 34790 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary[9] star system in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.66,[2] which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon observations by the Hipparcos satellite, it is located around 289 light years away.[1] It has a combined stellar classification of A1Vs,[3] matching that of an A-type main sequence star, and shines with 35 times the luminosity of the Sun.[7]
The two stars orbit each other with a period of only 2.15 days and an eccentricity of zero, indicating their orbit is close to circular.[6] They are orbiting sufficiently close to each other that their rotation periods have most likely become tidally locked—meaning they always maintain the same face toward each other.[9]
