Its story

44 Tauri is an exceptional Delta Scuti pulsator: at least fifteen independent vibration modes have been identified within it, making the star a laboratory for asteroseismology, the study of stellar interiors through their beats. At 205 light-years, this F-type star vibrates over cycles of just a few hours, each period telling something different about its internal structure. Taurus holds it in the winter sky, not far from the misty field of the Hyades.
