93 Herculis is a star located around 750[1] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Hercules.[6] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.67[2] The brightness of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.21 due to interstellar dust.[7] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −24.5 km/s.[4] This star, together with 95 Her, 102 Her, and 109 Her, made up the obsolete constellation Cerberus.[8]
This object has a stellar classification of K0.5IIb,[3] which indicates it is an evolved bright giant. With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, the star has expanded to 51[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating around 919[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,471 K.[1] It is generally deficient in metal elements, but appears weakly enhanced in barium and other heavier elements.[5] This is a suspected barium star and hence may have a white dwarf companion in orbit.[9]
