Tau3 Gruis is a solitary[7] star in the southern constellation of Grus. Its apparent magnitude is 5.71,[2] which is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star. The star is located around 265 light-years (81 pc) distant from the Sun based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 6 km/s.[4]
This is an Am star[8] with a stellar classification of 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.[9] It has 2.9[1] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 27[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,735 K.[1]
