Star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus
Tau Piscis Austrini (τ Piscis Austrini ) is a solitary,
[9] yellow-white hued
star in the southern
constellation of
Piscis Austrinus . It is visible to the naked eye with an
apparent visual magnitude of +4.9.
[2] Based upon an annual
parallax shift of 54.71
mas as seen from the Earth,
[1] the star is located 59.6
light years from the
Sun .
This is an
F-type main sequence star with a
stellar classification of F6 V.
[3] It is about 1.3
[7] billion years old with a
projected rotational velocity of 14
[4] km/s and exhibits a low level of
activity .
[10] The star has an estimated 1.34 times the
mass of the Sun and 1.45 times the
Sun's radius .
[5] It is radiating 2.82
[5] times the
solar luminosity from its
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 6,324 K.
[4] This star is a candidate for hosting a
debris disk , as it displayed an initial near
infrared excess that faded with further observations.

Naming
In
Chinese , 天錢 (Tiān Qián ), meaning
Celestial Money , refers to an asterism consisting of refers to an asterism consisting of τ Piscis Austrini,
13 Piscis Austrini ,
θ Piscis Austrini ,
ι Piscis Austrini and
μ Piscis Austrini . Consequently, the
Chinese name for τ Piscis Austrini itself is 天錢五 (Tiān Qián wǔ , English: the Fifth Star of Celestial Money .)
