TU Corvi is a yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation of Corvus. It is a dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.20.[3] The distance to this star can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 13.3 mas, yielding a range of about 246 light years. Based upon measured changes in its proper motion, it may be a close binary system.[12]
This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F0 V.[4] Previously it had been classed as F0 III,[13] matching an evolved giant star. It is a Delta Scuti variable, varying by an amplitude of 0.025 in B magnitude with a period of 118 minutes.[5][6] At the age of 786[8] million years, it has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 103 km/s.[10] The star has 1.45 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 12.6 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,132 K.[8]
