Tau2 Serpentis, Latinized from τ2 Serpentis, is a star in the constellation of Serpens, located approximately 480 light-years from the Sun. [1] It is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.22. [2] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −19 km/s. [2]
This object is a late B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9V. [3] It is a probable Lambda Boötis star. [2] [10] The star is 278 [8] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 154 km/s. [6] It has nearly three times the mass and radius of the Sun. [6] [7] Tau2 Serpentis is radiating 96 [6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,839 K. [6]
There is evidence of a possible companion, which is contributing about 15% to the total emission of the system. [11]
