Psi Tauri (ψ Tauri) is a solitary,[10] yellow-white hued star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. It is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F1 V.[3] The star is about 1.4 billion years old with 1.6 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 4.8 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,088 K.[5][6] It 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 36.23 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] is 90 light years.
