Tau7 Eridani is a solitary star in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.235. [2] Using the parallax method, the distance to this star can be estimated as around 251 light years. [1]
This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 Vs, [3] where the 's' indicates it has narrow absorption lines. It may be a chemically peculiar Am star, which means it displays unusual abundances of certain elements in its surface layers. Tau7 Eridani appears to be a low amplitude variable that displays slight fluctuations in luminosity over a period of 7.17 days. It is slowly rotating with a projected rotational velocity of 18 km/s, [8] and is around 387 million years old. [6]
