136 Tauriis a white-huedbinary starsystem in thezodiacconstellationofTaurus.It has a combinedapparent visual magnitudeof 4.56,[2]which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annualparallax shiftof7.71±0.22masas seen from Earth's orbit,[1]it is located approximately 420light yearsfrom the Sun. The system is moving nearer with a heliocentricradial velocityof −17.2 km/s,[5]and is expected to make its closest approach in 6.5 million years at a distance of 150 ly (45 pc).[2]

This is a close, double-linedspectroscopic binarywith anorbital periodof 5.96 days and aneccentricityof 0.00.[6]Tidal effectsbetween the pair may have circularized their orbit and slowed their rotation rates – the primary has aprojected rotational velocityof 10 km/s.[9]They have a combinedstellar classificationof A0 V,[3]and both are most likelyA-type main-sequence starsof the same class.[2]
