5 Tauri is a binary star[6] in the zodiac constellation of Taurus, located approximately 530 light years from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.14. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14 km/s.[2]
This is a spectroscopic binary with a period of 960 days and an eccentricity of about 0.4.[5] The primary component is a K-type giant with a stellar classification of K0-III.[3] It has four[7] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 329[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,644 K.[9]
