Delta2 Tauri (δ2 Tauri) is a solitary,[10] white-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.21 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located roughly 161 light years distant from the Sun. It is separated from δ1 Tauri by 0.3° on the sky[11] and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.80.[2] The star is considered a member of the Hyades cluster.[12]
At the estimated age of 449 million years,[6] this is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 Vs,[3] where the 's' suffix indicates narrow (sharp) absorption lines. It has 1.8[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 1.8[7] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 27[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,997 K.[4]
δ2 Tauri is a source of X-ray emission with a luminosity of 101.1×1020 W. Since A-type stars are not normally a source of X-rays, this emission may be coming from an unknown companion or from a line of sight source.[13]
