HD 98176, also designated as HIP 55133 and rarely 22 G. Centauri, is a solitary, white hued star located in the southern constellationCentaurus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.44, placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the object is estimated to be 348 light years distant. At its current distance, its brightness is diminished by 0.32 magnitudes due to interstellar dust. Pauzen et al. (2001) lists it as a potential λ Boötis star.
