88 Leonis is a wide binary[5] star system in the equatorial constellation of Leo, the lion. The system is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.27.[2] It is located at a distance of 77 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.8 km/s.[2] It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.379 arc seconds per annum.[11]
The primary member of the system, component A, is a yellow-white hued F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F9.5V.[4] It is an estimated 5.7[2] billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of 14.3 days.[7] The star has a short magnetic activity cycle that averages around 3.5 years. A second cycle appears to vary over time, lasting 13.7 years at the start of observations then decreasing to 8.6 years over a span of 34 years of measurement.[7] The star has 1.06[5] times the mass of the Sun and 1.10[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 1.47[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,060 K.[1]
The secondary, component B, is a magnitude 9.22[3] star at an angular separation of 15.46″ from the primary along a position angle of 326°.[8] It has a class of G5[3] and 74% of the Sun's mass. The pair share a common proper motion through space with a projected separation of 360.6 astronomical unit|AU.[8]
