V1094 Tauri is a system of at least three stars in the constellation of Taurus. Two stars are resolved 21″ apart; the brighter is an eclipsing binary.[8] In 2015, the parameters for the eclipsing pair were precisely measured.[5] Radial velocity data also revealed apsidal motion with a period of 14,500±3,700 years, which may indicate a third star.[9]
The star system was included in a 2003 study that featured GK Draconis and V1094 Tauri. The study suggested a mass of 1.10 M☉ for the primary star and a mass of 1.01 M☉ for the secondary.[6] The two stars orbit each other at a distance of around 0.091 to 0.092 astronomical units and have an orbital period of around 9 days.
