HR 4098, also known as HD 90508, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Ursa Major at a distance of 75 light years. This object is barely visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.45. It is approaching the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 7.2±0.2 km/s.[3]

The star system is a visual binary with a 3.466″ projected separation,[10] identified as such in 1994–1997.[5][10] The orbit of the binary is wide and highly uncertain[10] due to the long period and high inclination.[5]

The larger star, HD 90508A, is a very old main-sequence star approaching a turn-off from the main sequence.[11] Very little dust remains in the stellar system, therefore the starlight of HR 4098 is one of the standards for non-polarized emission, polarization being below 0.2% in all bands.[12] Unlike the majority of G-class stars, HD 90508A has a direct correlation between brightness and stellar activity. This behavior is shared with HD 88986 and the Sun.[13]

Very little is known about the companion, which could be a K-class or M-class dwarf star.[6]
