126 Tauri

126 Tauri (126 Tau) is a triple star system in the constellation Taurus, approximately 600 light years away. Its apparent magnitude is 4.83, making it visible to the naked eye with dark skies.

126 Tauri is a well-known binary star with the two components in an eccentric orbit of over a hundred years. The secondary, component B, has also shown radial velocity variations that indicate an unseen companion in a 4.77-day orbit.

The combined spectral class is typically quoted as B3IV, occasionally B3V. The primary alone has been classed as B3V, although the two components have been individually measured at B8V and B7V.
