PSR J0348+0432 is a pulsar–white dwarf binary system in the constellation Taurus. It was discovered in 2007 with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in a drift-scan survey. [2] In 2013, a mass measurement for this neutron star was announced: slightly over two times the mass of the Sun (2.01 ± 0.04 M ...
Taurus is a large and prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere's winter sky, between Aries to the west and Gemini to the east; to the north lies Perseus and Auriga, to the southeast Orion, to the south Eridanus, and to the southwest Cetus. In late November-early December, Taurus reaches opposition (furthest point from the Sun) and is ...
Tau Tauri, Latinized from τ Tauri, is a quadruple star system [5] in the constellation Taurus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.33. [14] The distance to this system is approximately about 400 light years based on parallax. [1]
Theta Tauri (θ Tauri, abbreviated Theta Tau, θ Tau) is a wide double star in the constellation of Taurus and a member of the Hyades open cluster. θ Tauri is composed of two 3rd magnitude stars, designated Theta 1 Tauri (Theta Tauri B) and Theta 2 Tauri (Theta Tauri A). Theta² is brighter, hence the pair are sometimes referred to as Theta ...
Lambda Tauri (λ Tau, λ Tauri) is a triple star system in the constellation Taurus.In the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Sadr al Tauri, which was translated into Latin as Pectus Tauri, meaning "the bull chest". [13]
119 Tauri (also known as CE Tauri) is a red supergiant star in the constellation Taurus. It is a magnitude 4 star, visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions. A semiregular variable, its angular diameter has been measured at about 10 mas. It is a similar star to Betelgeuse although redder and more distant. [6]
Psi Tauri, which is Latinized from ψ Tauri, is a solitary [9] star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. It has a yellow-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.22. [2] The distance to this system, as determined using an annual parallax shift of 36.2 mas as seen from the Earth, [4] is 90 light years.
