Tau1 Aquarii, Latinized from τ1 Aquarii, is the Bayer designation for a single[11] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.66,[2] it is a faint naked eye that requires dark suburban skies for viewing. Parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission yield a distance estimate of roughly 355 light-years (109 parsecs) from Earth.[1] The star is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +15 km/s.[5] It is a candidate member of the Pisces-Eridanus stellar stream.[12]

The stellar classification of τ1 Aquarii is B9 V;[3] right along the borderline between a B- and A-type main sequence star. This is a candidate silicon star; a type of Ap star of class CP2 that shows a magnetic field.[13] It is around 100[9] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 185 km/s.[7] The star has 2.7[7] times the mass of the Sun and double the Sun's radius.[8] It is radiating 63.5[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,617 K.[7] When examined in the infrared band, it displays an excess emission that is a characteristic of stars with an orbiting debris disk. The model that best fits the data suggests there are two concentric circumstellar disks.[9]
