AE Aurigae and the Flaming Star Nebula
Why is AE Aurigae called the flaming star? The surrounding nebula, IC 405, is named the Flaming Star Nebula because the region seems to harbor smoke. Nothing is on fire, including the interior star AE Aurigae. Fire, typically defined as the rapid molecular acquisition of oxygen, happens only when sufficient oxygen is present. This is not important in such high-energy, low-oxygen environments. The material that appears as smoke is mostly interstellar hydrogen.
