Star in the constellation Andromeda
Tau Andromedae , Latinized from τ Andromedae, is the Bayer designation for a single[ 9] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda . It has an apparent visual magnitude of +4.94,[ 2] bright enough to be viewed from dark suburban skies. From parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission, the distance to this star can be estimated as roughly 680 light-years (210 parsecs ) from Earth. The brightness of this star is diminished by 0.24 in magnitude due to extinction caused by intervening gas and dust.[ 3] radial velocity of −14 km/s.[ 4]
The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of B5 III,[ 3] luminosity class of III indicating that this is a giant star . It is radiating about 851 times the luminosity of the Sun[ 5] photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,670 K.[ 6] [ 7] projected rotational velocity of ~74 km/s.[ 6]
