HD 98649 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the southern Crater constellation. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 137.5 light years from the Sun. The system is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.3 km/s.[1] With an apparent visual magnitude of +8.00,[2] it is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. The system has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.24·yr−1.[6]

The spectrum of HD 98649 presents as an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3/5V.[3] It is around 4.4[4] billion years old and is spinning slowly with a rotation period of roughly 27 days.[2] The star is similar to the Sun, having nearly the same size, mass, and luminosity. It is considered a solar analog.[4] The level of magnetic activity in the chromosphere is minimal.[2]
