Editing Beta Tauri (section)

== Companions ==
A faint star is, angularly from our viewpoint, close enough for astronomers to consider, and guides to mention, the pair as a [[double star]]. This visual companion, BD+28°795B, has a [[position angle]] of 239 degrees and is separated from the main star by 33.4 [[Minute and second of arc|arcseconds]] (″).<ref name=VizieR/><ref name="Alcyone"/>  Six angularly closer, even fainter stars have been found in a search for brown dwarf and planetary companions{{snd}}all considered background objects.<ref name=janson/>

A very close companion was reported from [[lunar occultation]] measurements at a distance of {{val|0.1|ul="}}, but not confirmed by other observers.  [[Radial velocity]] measurements indicate that Beta Tauri is a single-lined [[spectroscopic binary]], but there is no published information about the companion or orbit.<ref name=adelman2006/><ref name=gordon2019/>
