32 Leonis Minoris

32 Leonis Minoris (32 LMi), also known as HD 90840, is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.78. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 729 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of $$, which is somewhat constrained. At its current distance, 32 LMi's brightness is diminished by 0.14 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.02.

The object has been given several stellar classifications over the years, ranging from main sequence (V) to giant star (III) and A1 to A4. Two of the classifications are A4 V and A4 III. It has 2.01 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 465 million years, 32 LMi is now on the subgiant branch and it has expanded to 6.58 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates 241 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of $$. 32 LMi is metal deficient with an iron abundance only 15.9% that of Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.80) and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of $$.
