Taurus is a large and prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere's winter sky, between Aries to the west and Gemini to the east; to the north lies Perseus and Auriga, to the southeast Orion, to the south Eridanus, and to the southwest Cetus. In late November-early December, Taurus reaches opposition (furthest point from the Sun) and is ...
Lambda Tauri (λ Tau, λ Tauri) is a triple star system in the constellation Taurus.In the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Sadr al Tauri, which was translated into Latin as Pectus Tauri, meaning "the bull chest". [13]
DF Tauri is a young binary star system in the constellation of Taurus, abbreviated DF Tau. It is one of the most active T Tauri stars in the star-forming region of Taurus and has been frequently studied. [9] [10] The system has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 11.96, [1] which requires a telescope to observe.
Theta Tauri (θ Tauri, abbreviated Theta Tau, θ Tau) is a wide double star in the constellation of Taurus and a member of the Hyades open cluster. θ Tauri is composed of two 3rd magnitude stars, designated Theta 1 Tauri (Theta Tauri B) and Theta 2 Tauri (Theta Tauri A). Theta² is brighter, hence the pair are sometimes referred to as Theta ...
Alcyone / æ l ˈ s aɪ ə n iː /, [11] designated η Tauri (Eta Tauri, abbreviated Eta Tau, η Tau), is a star in the constellation of Taurus. Approximately 440 light-years from the Sun, it is the brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster, which is a young cluster, around 100 million years old. There are a number of fainter stars very close ...
Xi Tauri (ξ Tau, ξ Tauri) is a hierarchical quadruple system [5] in the constellation Taurus. Xi Tauri is a spectroscopic and eclipsing quadruple star. It consists of three blue-white B-type main sequence stars and an F-type main sequence star. Two of the stars form an eclipsing binary system and revolve around each other once every 7.15 days ...
88 Tauri, also known as d Tauri, is a multiple star system in the constellation Taurus. It has an apparent magnitude of about 4.25, meaning that it is visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, the star system is some 156 light-years (48 parsecs) from the Sun. [1]
HL Tauri (abbreviated HL Tau) is a young T Tauri star [5] in the constellation Taurus, approximately 450 light-years (140 pc) from Earth [1] in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. [6] The luminosity and effective temperature of HL Tauri imply that its age is less than 100,000 years. [7] At apparent magnitude 15.1, [3] it is too faint to be seen with ...
