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]
