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.[1] The star is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8 km/s.[1] The annual parallax shift of 5.58±0.24 mas[2] 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 times the mass of the Sun[5] and about 24 times the Sun's radius.[6] The star is around 200 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 6.4 km/s.[7] It is radiating about 438 times the Sun's luminosity[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,468 K.[5]
