89 Herculis is a binary star system located about 4,700 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Hercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, fifth magnitude star. The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −28.5 km/s.[5]

This is a spectroscopic binary with the pair surrounded by a dusty disc, and an hourglass-shaped nebula formed from outflowing gas.[10] The mass of the nebula is about 0.018 M, of which a majority is in the outflow.[10] The system shows variable brightness and spectral line profiles.[11] The companion has a very low mass and luminosity and orbits the primary in 288 days.[3]

The primary component has a stellar classification of F2Ibe,[3] and is among a rare class of post-asymptotic giant branch stars – low-mass stars in the last stages of their lives, highly inflated to appear as supergiants.[3] It is classified as a semiregular variable star, subtype SRd, and ranges from magnitude 5.3 down to 5.5 over a period of around 68 days.[2] The star has expanded to 71[7] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 8,350[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,550 K.[3]
