HD 28527 is a star in the constellation Taurus, and a member of the Hyades open cluster. [8] It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78. [2] The distance to this star, as determined from its parallax shift of 22 mas, [1] is 148 light years. It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +38 km/s. [2]
Based upon a stellar classification of A6 IV by Cowley et al. (1969), [3] this is an A-type subgiant star that has consumed the hydrogen at its core and is evolving away from the main sequence. Older studies had it classed as an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A7 V. [4] At the age of 307 [7] million years, it has a high rate of spin, revolving upon its axis once every 1.278 days. [8] It is a Delta Scuti variable [5] with 1.75 [7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.2 [8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 19 [2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,274 K. [7]
Due to its location near the ecliptic, this star is subject to lunar occultations. These events have provided occasional, but not definitive, evidence of a close secondary companion. [11] [12] Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) catalogue this as a possible triple star system, having the inner pair being similar stars with an angular separation of 0.02 ″, and the outer component a magnitude 6.7 star of class F2 at a much wider separation of 250″.
