SIMBADdata

V830 Tauri is a star located 427 light-years (or 131 parsecs) away from the Sun in the constellation Taurus.[5] This star is very young, with an age of only 2 million years,[5][6] compared to the Sun's age, which is 4.6 billion years. The star has an exoplanet orbiting around it.

Characteristics

V830 Tauri is an M-type star.[5] The star has a mass of roughly 1 solar mass, but has a radius of 2 solar radii,[5][6] due to the star's age, which means that it hasn't fully contracted yet to become a main-sequence star. It has a surface temperature of 4250 K.[5][6] For comparison, the Sun's surface temperature is 5,772 K.

V830 Tauri is a T Tauri star, a pre-main sequence star that has a surrounding disc producing emission lines in its spectrum. It is classified as a weak-lined T Tauri star.[3] It is also classified as a BY Draconis variable, cool stars with starspots and chromospheric activity that vary in brightness as they rotate.[2] The variable period of 2.74 days matches the rotation period.[3]

Planet

On June 20, 2016, an exoplanet was found via radial velocity.[5][6] It is one of the if not the youngest exoplanet ever found. The exoplanet has a mass of about 0.77 masses of Jupiter and is orbiting 0.057 AU away from its host star with a period of 4.93 days and an inclination of 55 degrees.[5][6]
