Seeing evidence of asteroids points to the possibility of Earth-sized planets in the same system, as asteroids are the building blocks of major planets. A new study led by Jay Farihi of the University of Cambridge, UK, has now found the atmospheres of two burnt-out stars in this cluster - known as white dwarfs - to be “polluted” by rocky debris circling the star. The Hyades cluster is very well studied due to its location, but previous searches for planets have produced only one. This image shows the Hyades star cluster, the nearest cluster to us. However, as the companion appears so close to the bright Aldebaran, it is difficult to unambiguously confirm that the two stars are related. The companion discovered by Herschel does not have a similar proper motion to Aldebaran, but the second star has almost the same parallax and proper motion as Aldebaran, indicating that the two stars are physically related and form a wide binary system. Burnham found another companion, a 14th magnitude star, at a separation of 31’’.

In 1888, a full century later, American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham observed the star and found that it was a close binary system. It is an 11th magnitude star separated by 117’’ from Aldebaran. The first one was discovered by the German-born British astronomer William Herschel in 1782. It forms an astrosphere that extends for about 1,000 astronomical units from the star.Īldebaran has several faint visual companions. Aldebaran’s stellar wind expands beyond the MOLsphere until it reaches the boundary with the interstellar medium, where it slows down to subsonic speed. Lines of water, carbon monoxide and titanium oxide have been detected in its spectrum. The star’s MOLsphere – the molecular layer beyond the chromosphere – stretches across a distance 2.5 times the star’s radius and has a temperature of 1,500 K. Its estimated age is 6.4 billion years and its metallicity around 30% lower than the Sun’s. It rotates very slowly, with a projected rotational velocity of 3.5 km/s, taking 520 days to complete a rotation. With a surface temperature of 3,900 K, it shines with a luminosity 439 times that of the Sun, with a lot of its energy output being in the invisible infrared. The star has a mass of 1.16 solar masses and has grown to a size of 44.13 solar radii. Now it is on the red giant branch (RGB), in the hydrogen shell burning phase. It has exhausted the hydrogen supply in its core and, as it evolved off the main sequence, it started to expand to its current size. Star typeĪldebaran is a giant star of the spectral type K5+ III.

The star hosts a giant exoplanet, Aldebaran b, whose existence was confirmed in 2015. Aldebaran lies at a distance of 65.3 light years from Earth and is in the same line of sight as the bright Hyades open cluster. It is usually slightly fainter than Altair in the constellation Aquila and Acrux in Crux, but just outshines Antares, Spica and Pollux, the luminaries of Scorpius, Virgo and Gemini. With an apparent magnitude that varies from 0.75 to 0.95, it is the brightest star in Taurus and the 14th brightest star in the sky. Aldebaran, Alpha Tauri (α Tau), is an orange giant star in the constellation Taurus.
