DH Tauri,also known asDH Tau,is atype Mstar, located 140parsecs(456.619light years) away. It forms abinary systemwithDI Tauri15″away, and has asubstellar companion,either abrown dwarfor massiveexoplanet.
Characteristics
[edit]DH Tauri is a type M, orred dwarfstar, one of the most common types ofstarin the Milky Way.[6]It has anapparent magnitudeof 13.71 and temperature of3,751K.DH Tauri has a mass of 0.41M☉and an estimated radius of 1.26R☉.
The companion DH Tauri B or b has a mass estimated to be betweeneightMJand50MJ,making it either asuper-Jupiterorbrown dwarf.[7][8]Other sources give a mass as high as 0.03M☉,with abolometric luminosityof 0.01L☉.[9]The spectral type has been classified as M7.5[9]or M9.25.[10]The companion, while its host star still having aprotoplanetary disk,is still accreting material, being surrounded by a circumsubstellar disk (possibly acircumplanetary disk,depending on its formation history).[11]It is potentially orbited by a smaller candidate companion DH Tauri Bb (possibly anexomoon) with1MJ,and a mass ratio with respect to the brown dwarf of one-tenth.[12]
