HD 984 is a F-type main-sequence star located in the equatorial constellation Cetus. It is a young star, estimated 30 to 200 million years old, and is orbited by a brown dwarf companion. Parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft imply a distance of 150 light-years (46 pc) to HD 984. At an apparent magnitude of 7.32, the star is too dim to be visible to the naked eye.
