Zeta Aurigae is an eclipsing binary star system in the northern constellation of Auriga. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ζ Aurigae, and abbreviated Zeta Aur or ζ Aur. Based upon parallax measurements, this system is approximately 860 light-years (260 parsecs) distant from the Sun. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 3.75, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. The system is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +12 km/s.
The two components are designated Zeta Aurigae A and B. The bright giant or supergiant component A has the official name Saclateni, pronounced , which is an old misspelling of "Sadatoni". Its hotter companion is a B-type dwarf. The pair orbit each other with a period of 2.66 yr.
