			β TrA (GJ 601A, HD 141891, HR 5897, HIP 77952) is a bright (apparent V magnitude 2.85) and nearby (12.4 parsecs) star of spectral type F1V. Although it appears in the Washington Double Star catalog (WDS J15551-6326A, LDS 542), the "B" component (WDS J15551-6326B, GJ 601B, LTT 6333) is an unrelated background star at roughly 280 parsecs distance. Thus far, β TrA appears to be single.
