Tau5 Serpentis
Star in the constellation Serpens
Tau5 Serpentis , Latinized from τ5 Serpentis , is a star in the constellation of Serpens . The Flamsteed designation for this star is 18 Serpentis.[ 3] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.93,[ 2] which is bright enough to be dimly visible to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 169 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements.[ 1]
The stellar classification of this star is F3V,[ 3] matching an F-type main-sequence star . It has 1.54 times the mass of the Sun [ 5] and is radiating 10[ 2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,903 K.[ 5] The star has an estimated age of 1.9 billion years[ 5] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of about 88 km/s.[ 6] It is metal poor , which means the abundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere is lower than in the Sun.[ 5]
