66 Tauri, also known as r Tauri, is a binary star in the constellation of Taurus. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is 5.098,^[2] with the magnitudes of the two components being 5.8 and 5.9, respectively.^[3] Parallax measurements by Hipparcos put 66 Tauri at some 400 light-years (121 parsecs) away.^[1]

This is a visual binary where the positions of the two stars are tracked over time, and used to calculate an orbit. The two stars orbit each other every 55 years.^[3] Their orbit is fairly eccentric, at 0.720, and the two stars are separated by 0.188″ on average.^[3] Both stars are A-type main-sequence stars with similar masses.^[8]

Notes

^ ^a ^b Cvetkovic et al. gives two possible mass sums: 2.89 / 2.76 M_☉ or 2.88 / 2.77 M_☉.
