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]
