HR 2096, also known as HD 40325 is a double star about 380 light years away in the constellation Auriga. The primary is a giant star of spectral type K2III, [6] while the secondary is a hotter but less luminous star. It is not a member of any known moving group of stars. [14]
A third star 35″ (as of 2015) from the closer pair is listed in multiple star catalogues as component C, [15] but it is an unrelated background star. [16] It is another giant of spectral type K0III. [17]
