This physical binary star consists of two components with magnitudes of 4.6 (white) and 6.5 (yellow-brown) at a separation of 8", which can be resolved by a telescope with an objective diameter larger than 6 cm under ideal conditions. Their distance from Earth is determined to be 86 light-years. They are peripheral members of the "Taurus moving group" primarily associated with the open star cluster Hyades. |
