16 Aurigae
Summary:
A golden-orange K-type star (K3, possibly IIIb) 95 times more luminous than the Sun, and 21 times its diameter. Also sometimes referred to as [[Demisiv]] after its single inhabited world (the seventh planet out) and the species that inhabits it.
16 Aur is a spectroscopic binary, its smaller companion taking about a year to orbit it; and it also travels in company with several other stars that are gravitationally associated. (For more info see the [http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/f...bs...128...21G SAO / Nasa Astrophysics] article.)
