HD 161988, also known as HR 6635, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.07,[2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of 621 light years,[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 36.8 km/s.[6]

The object has a stellar classification of K2 III,[4] indicating that it is a red giant. Gaia Data Release 3 models place it on the red giant branch. At present it has 3.05 times the mass of the Sun[8] and an enlarged radius of 20.8 R☉.[9] It shines at 185 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,498 K.[10] HD 161988 has an iron abundance 74% that of the Sun,[11] making it slightly metal deficient. Like most giants, it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.1 km/s.[12]

HD 161988 has a 14th magnitude optical companion located 26.4 arcseconds away along a position angle of 122°.[14]
