IU Aurigae is a triple star[6] system in the constellation Auriga, consisting of an eclipsing binary pair orbiting a third component with a period of 335 years.[7] This system is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having a peak apparent visual magnitude of 8.19.[3] The eclipsing pair form a Beta Lyrae-type semidetached binary of two Bp stars[3] with a period of 1.81147435 days.[4] During the primary eclipse, the visual magnitude of the system drops to 8.89, while for the secondary it decreases to 8.74.[3][8] The third component is a massive object with 17–18 M☉, and may actually be a binary – which would make this a quadruple star system.[7]
