Properties

This is an A-type main-sequence star with 2.5 times the Sun’s mass, and 1.93 times the Sun’s radius, hence the high surface gravity. It radiates at 30 solar luminosities, and has a blueish-white hue, which corresponds to an effective temperature of 9,774 K. HD 98176 is slightly metal-deficient, with 85.11% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun due to it being a Lambda Boötis star. [8]
