Star in the constellation Leo Minor
37 Leonis Minoris is a single,[ 9] yellow-hued star in the northern constellation of Leo Minor . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.68.[ 2] The star is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8 km/s.[ 2] The annual parallax shift of 5.58± 0.24 mas [ 1] provides a distance estimate of roughly 580 light years .
The Bright Star Catalogue lists this star with a stellar classification of G2.5 IIa,[ 3] indicating it is an evolved G-type bright giant . Gray et al. (2001) gave it a class of G1 II,[ 10] while Keenan and McNeil (1989) assigned this star to the giant class G2.5 IIIa.[ 11] It has an estimated 3.72[ 5] times the mass of the Sun and about 31[ 6] times the Sun's radius . The star is around 200[ 7] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 6.4 km/s.[ 7] It is radiating about 438[ 2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,468 K.[ 5]
