Sigma1 Tauri (σ1 Tauri) is the Bayer designation for a white-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.07,[2] which indicates it is visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, σ1 Tauri is about 147 light-years from the Sun.
σ1 Tauri is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 38.951 days and an eccentricity of 0.15. The visible component is an Am star with a stellar classification of A4m,[3] indicating it is chemically peculiar A-type star. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 56.5 km/s.[7] The star has 1.9[2] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 14.7[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,470 K.[2] Although it lies in the general direction of the Hyades cluster, based on parallax measurements it has been excluded from the list of candidate members.[2]
