134 Tauri is a single[9] star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.89,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.11±0.33 mas,[1] is around 249 light years. The star is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +20.5 km/s, having made its closest approach some three million years ago at a distance of 107 ly (32.7 pc).[2]

This is an MK-standard star with a stellar classification of B9 IV,[4] matching a subgiant star that is evolving away from the main sequence having exhausted the hydrogen at its core. It has a low projected rotational velocity[4] of 26 km/s.[6] The star is about 248 million years old with three times the mass of the Sun[6] and approximately 2.8 times the Sun's radius.[7] It is radiating around 88 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 10,520 K.[7]
