106 Herculisis avariable starin the northernconstellationHercules.It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued point of light with a baselineapparent visual magnitudeof 4.96.[2]Based on itsparallax,it is estimated to lie 383 light-years (117 parsecs) away from the Sun.[3]The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocityof -35 km/s.[7]

Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) listed this as a suspectedbinary starsystem consisting of two roughly equal components.[10]It appears as an ageingred giantwith astellar classificationof M0III. This is a suspectedsemiregular variable starwith a very small amplitude and a period of 40 days or more.[6]Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at itscore,it has expanded to 44[1]times theSun's radius.It is radiating around 414[1]times theluminosity of the Sunfrom its enlargedphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof about 3,789 K.[3]
