Tau3 Gruis is a solitary,[6] white-hued star in the southern constellation of Grus. Its apparent magnitude is 5.71,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Located around 243 light-years (75 pc) distant, it is a A-type chemically peculiar star of spectral type kA5hA7mF2.[3] This notation indicates the spectrum displays the calcium K-line of an A5 star, the hydrogen lines of an A7 star, and the metal lines of an F2 star.[7]
