HD 37519 or Andrew's Star is a star in the northern constellation Auriga. It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.04.[2] The distance to HD 37519 is approximately 810 light years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10 km/s.[5]
Cowley in 1972 found a stellar classification of B9.5III-IV(p)? (Hg?) for this star,[3] suggesting it is an evolved B-type star and a suspected chemically peculiar star of the mercury-manganese type.[11] It is estimated to be 375 million years old and with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 195 km/s.[9] In March 1964, a suspected flare of HD 37519 was detected that increased the star's brightness by about three magnitudes. Smaller variations of up to two magnitudes were detected a few days later,[12] suggesting there might be a flare star companion. However, follow-up observations failed to confirm the variability.[13] The star is radiating 110[8] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,289 km/s.[8]
