Tucana Horologium association
(THA, Tuc-Hor)
(nearby stellar association)
The Tucana Horologium association (abbreviated THA)
is a nearby stellar association and
a THA star is a star in the association.
AB Pictoris (a K-type star with a substantial orbiting
object on the line between extra-solar planet
and brown dwarf) was considered a member but a recent determination
says not, though it is in within the association's volume.
