HD 28527 is a star in the constellation Taurus, and a member of the Hyades open cluster.[8] It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78.[2] The distance to this star, as determined from its parallax shift of 22 mas,[1] is 148 light years. It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +38 km/s.[2]

Based upon a stellar classification of A6 IV by Cowley et al. (1969),[3] this is an A-type subgiant star that has consumed the hydrogen at its core and is evolving away from the main sequence. Older studies had it classed as an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A7 V.[4] At the age of 307[7] million years, it has a high rate of spin, revolving upon its axis once every 1.278 days.[8] It is a Delta Scuti variable[5] with 1.75[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.2[8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 19[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,274 K.[7]
Due to its location near the ecliptic, this star is subject to lunar occultations. These events have provided occasional, but not definitive, evidence of a close secondary companion.[11][12] Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) catalogue this as a possible triple star system, having the inner pair being similar stars with an angular separation of 0.02″, and the outer component a magnitude 6.7 star of class F2 at a much wider separation of 250″.[13]
