EO Aurigae is an eclipsing binary of Algol type in the northern constellation of Auriga. With a combined apparent magnitude of 7.71,[3] it is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye.
The eclipsing binary nature of the star was detected in 1943 by Sergei Gaposchkin at Harvard College Observatory.[7] It consists of a pair of B-type main sequence stars orbiting each other with a period of 4.0656 days. During the eclipse of the primary star, the combined magnitude drops by 0.57; the eclipse of the secondary component drops the magnitude by 0.33.[8]
