HR 1884 is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Auriga. The primary is a G type supergiant star while the secondary is probably a B type main sequence star.[4]
The possible spectroscopic binary nature of the star was first noted in 1983 by Gilbert Burki and Michel Mayor in a paper on the rate of binaries among supergiant stars.[9] In the same year, William P. Bidelman noted that the stellar spectrum was composite indicating a companion star.[10] Confirmation of spectroscopic binary status and a preliminary orbit was published in 1998 by R. Paul Butler,[11] a much more accurate orbit was published in 2015 by Roger Griffin.[4]
