89 Herculis is abinary star system located about 4,700 light years away from the Sun in the northernconstellation ofHercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, fifth magnitude star. The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −28.5 km/s.[5]
This is aspectroscopic binary with the pair surrounded by a dusty disc, and an hourglass-shapednebula formed from outflowing gas.[11] The mass of the nebula is about 0.018 M☉, of which a majority is in the outflow.[11] The system shows variable brightness and spectral line profiles.[12] The companion has a very low mass and luminosity and orbits the primary in 288 days.[3]
