29 Herculis is a single[11] star located around 351[1] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Hercules, a few degrees away from Omega Herculis. It has the Bayer designation h Herculis, while 29 Herculis is the Flamsteed designation.[10] This star is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.84.[2] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +3 km/s.[2] The star has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.195 arc seconds per annum.[12]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4.5 III.[3] It displays an enhanced abundance of elements generated through the alpha process, and, in particular, has a strong enhancement of silicon.[13] 29 Herculis is a suspected variable star of unknown type, and has been measured ranging in visual magnitude from 4.82 down to 4.85.[4] It is an estimated 6.53[6] billion years old with 1.19[6] times the mass of the Sun. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 42[7] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 384[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,958 K.[6]
