HR 6594 is the Bright Star Catalogue designation for a binary star[12] system in the northern constellation of Hercules. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.54;[2] according to the Bortle scale, it is sufficiently bright to be visible from dark suburban skies. The distance to this system, as determined using parallax measurements,[1] is about 114 light years. It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −43.7 km/s,[6] and is predicted to come as near as 47 light-years in 686,000 years.[2] On the celestial sphere it is located near the star Alpha Ophiuchi; their projected separation is just 3 light years, although their actual separation is much greater.[13]

The primary is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F4 Vw, where the w indicates relatively weak metallic features in the ultraviolet spectrum.[4] This star has 134% of the Sun's mass,[8] but only 97% of the solar radius.[9] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 31.7 km/s,[3] and is around 1.2 billion years old.[8] The effective temperature of the outer atmosphere is 6,615 K,[3] giving it the yellow-white hue of an F-type star.[14] The abundance of elements other than hydrogen or helium, what astronomers term the metallicity, is similar to that in the Sun.[10]

It has a magnitude 9.38 companion star orbiting with a 144-year period, a semimajor axis spanning 1.04 arcseconds, and an eccentricity of 0.42.[12] There is a third, visual companion of magnitude 14.46 at an angular separation of 154.70 arcseconds along a position angle of 271°, as of 2001.[15]
