ο Tauri, Latinized as Omicron Tauri, is a binary star system in the constellation Taurus, near the constellation border with Cetus. It has a yellow hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.61.[2] It is approximately 270 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[5] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −20 km/s.[4] As the westernmost bright point of light in Taurus, this system has the Flamsteed designation 1 Tauri; Omicron Tauri is the Bayer designation.[1]

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary[7] system with the two components orbiting each other over a period of Script error: No such module "convert". with an eccentricity of 0.263.[9] The visible component is an aging G-type giant with a stellar classification of G6 III.[3] This star has three times the mass of the Sun and 20[6]–18 times the Sun's radius. Based on the latter, interferometry-measured radius, it is rotating once every 533 days.[10] It is radiating 302[8] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,094 K.[6]
