ο Tauri, Latinized as Omicron Tauri, is a binary star system in the constellation Taurus, near the constellation border with Cetus. It has a yellow hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.61. [2] It is approximately 191 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −20 km/s. [1] As the westernmost bright point of light in Taurus, this system has the Flamsteed designation 1 Tauri; Omicron Tauri is the Bayer designation. [7]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary [5] system with the two components orbiting each other over a period of 4.53 years with an eccentricity of 0.263. [8] The visible component is an aging G-type giant with a stellar classification of G6 III. [3] This star has three [4] times the mass of the Sun and eighteen [1] times the Sun's radius. Based on the latter, interferometry-measured radius, it is rotating once every 533 days. [9] It is radiating 149 [1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,180 K. [4]
