98 Herculis is a single[7] star located approximately 590[1] light years from the Sun in the northern constellation Hercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, red-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.96.[2] The brightness of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.19 due to interstellar dust.[8] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −19 km/s.[2]
This is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch[9] with a stellar classification of M3-SIII,[3] where the suffix notation indicating this is an S-type star. It is a mild barium star with an intensity class of 0.2,[10][4] and is a suspected variable star, although Percy and Shepherd (1992) were unable to confirm this.[11] With the hydrogen at its core exhausted, the star has expanded to around 85[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 1,330[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,772 K.[1]
