HD 149837 is a binary star in the southern constellation of Ara. Parallax measurements give a distance of 103.9 light-years.

The components of this system have an estimated separation of 45.8 astronomical units.[8] The primary, of apparent magnitude +6.24, can be viewed to the naked eye only from sufficiently dark skies, far from light pollution.[12] Its spectrum mathces a class of F6V,[6] making it a F-type main-sequence star. Around 1.25 times more massive than the Sun[8] and 2.9 billion years old,[10] it has 1.35 times the Sun's radius and irradiates 2.6 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere[9] at an effective temperature of 6,401 K.[10]

The secondary's apparent magnitude is 8.98,[5] too faint to be viewed with the naked eye.[12] It has 0.79 times the mass of the Sun, 0.67 times the radius and irradiates 25% of its luminosity at an effective temperature of 4,987 K.[11]
