XZ Tauri is a binary system approximately 460 light-years away in the constellation Taurus.
The system consists of two T Tauri stars orbiting each other about 6 billion kilometers apart (roughly the same distance as Pluto is from the Sun).
The system made news in 2000 when a superflare was observed in the system.
A third star, component C, has been observed at a separation of 0.09″, but subsequent observations failed to find it.
[10][8] The T Tauri star HL Tauri, 23″ away, is also sometimes listed as a companion.
