HD 98617, also known HR 4385, is a double star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of 6.35,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye. The system is located relatively close at a distance of 206 light years[1] but is approaching the Solar System with a fairly constrained radial velocity of −4 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 98617 brightness is diminished by 0.29 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[13]

The system's nature as a double star was first observed in a 1991 Hipparcos multiplicity survey. Their current separation is six-tenths of an arcsecond, making it difficult to measure the properties of the individual components. Nevertheless, the 10th magnitude companion is located along a position angle of 237° as of 2018.[14]

The primary has a stellar classification of A8 IIIm:, indicating that it is an evolved Am star (with uncertainty).[3] However, Renson and Manfroid (2009) lists its chemical peculiarity to be doubtful.[15] It has 1.75 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 1.85 times its girth.[8] It radiates 8.41 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,540 K,[10] giving it a white hue. It is estimated to be a billion years old and has a solar metallicity.[11] The aforementioned parameters belong to an A-type main-sequence star instead of a giant star and Gaia DR3 even models it as such.[1]
