60 Herculis is a single[12] star located 134[1] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Hercules,[11] and is positioned just seven[13] degrees away from Rasalgethi (Alpha Herculis). It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.871.[2] This star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −4 km/s.[8]

Abt and Morrell (1995) assigned this star a stellar classification of A3V,[4] matching an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. However, earlier studies gave it a luminosity class of IV,[5] which suggested it is a subdwarf star. It has a projected rotational velocity of 117 km/s,[3] which is creating an equatorial bulge that is 5% larger than the star's polar radius.[14] The star is 327 million years old[10] with 2.0 times the Sun's mass.[9] It is radiating 15 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,299 K.[9]
