HR 4458 is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It has the Gould designation 289 G. Hydrae; HR 4458 is the Bright Star Catalogue designation. At a distance of 31.13 light years, it is the closest star system to the Solar System within this constellation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.97.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −22 km/s.[5]

The primary component is K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K0 V.[3] It is around five[11] billion years old with 84%[7] of the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 37%[8] of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,241 K.[9] It has been examined for the presence of an infrared excess, but none was detected.[8]

There is a common proper motion companion at an angular separation of 16.2″,[4] corresponding to a projected separation of 162.5 astronomical unit|AU.[13] This is a white dwarf star with a classification of DC8.[4] The orbital period of the pair is estimated as 1,110 years.[13]
