Delta1 Tauri (δ1 Tauri, abbreviated Delta1 Tau, δ1 Tau) is a double star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.96 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located roughly 156 light-years distant from the Sun. The system is faintly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +3.772.[2] It is considered a member of the Hyades cluster.[4]

The two constituents are designated δ1 Tauri A and B. A is itself a binary star with components designated δ1 Tauri Aa (officially named Secunda Hyadum Template:IPAc-en, the traditional name for the entire system)[11] and Ab.

Nomenclature

δ1 Tauri (Latinised to Delta1 Tauri) is the system's Bayer designation. The designations of the two constituents as Delta1 Tauri A and B, and those of A's components - Delta1 Tauri Aa and Ab - derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[12]

The system bore the traditional name Hyadum II, which is Latin for "Second of the Hyades".[13] In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[14] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems.[15] It approved the name Secunda Hyadum for the component Delta1 Tauri Aa on 5 September 2017 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[11]

In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Net, refers to an asterism consisting of δ1 Tauri, Epsilon Tauri, Delta³ Tauri, Gamma Tauri, Alpha Tauri (Aldebaran), 71 Tauri and Lambda Tauri.[16] Consequently, the Chinese name for Delta1 Tauri itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), "the Third Star of Net".[17]

Properties

Delta1 Tauri A is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 529.8 days and an eccentricity of 0.42.[7] The visible member, component Aa, is an evolved G- or K-type giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 III CN0.5.[5] The 'CN0.5' suffix indicates a mild overabundance of cyanogen in the outer atmosphere. It is chromospherically active and shows a radial velocity variation of Template:Val with a period of Template:Val. The primary, component Aa, has 2.75 times the mass of the Sun, while the secondary, component Ab, has 1.3 times the Sun's mass. The primary star, at an age of 588 million years, is just evolving away from the horizontal branch toward the asymptotic giant branch after exhausting its core helium.[4]

Delta1 Tauri B is a magnitude 13.21 visual companion separated by 111.8 arcseconds from A.[3] It is most likely not physically related to the main star.[18]
