136 Tauri is a white-hued binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.56,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.71±0.22 mas as seen from Earth's orbit,[1] it is located approximately 420 light years from the Sun. The system is moving nearer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −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-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 5.96 days and an eccentricity of 0.00.[6] Tidal effects between the pair may have circularized their orbit and slowed their rotation rates – the primary has a projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.[9] They have a combined stellar classification of A0 V,[3] and both are most likely A-type main-sequence stars of the same class.[2]
