HD 29697 is the Henry Draper Catalogue number of this star. It is also known by its designation in the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars, Gliese 174, and its variable star designation V834 Tauri.
V834 Tauri is a BY Draconis variable with maximum and minimum apparent magnitudes of 7.94 and 8.33 respectively,[3] so it is never visible to the naked eye.
The star has been examined for indications of a circumstellar disk using the Spitzer Space Telescope, but no statistically-significant infrared excess was detected.[9]
