Astronomy:88 Leonis
88 Leonis is a wide binary[18] star system in the equatorial constellation of Leo, the lion. The system is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.2.[19] 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 about −4.6 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.379 arc seconds per annum.[20]
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.[6] It is an estimated 4.1 billion years old[14] and is spinning with a rotation period of 14.3 days.[12] 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.[12] The star has 1.1 times the mass of the Sun and 1.1 times the Sun's radius.[10] It is radiating 1.5 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere[7] at an effective temperature of 5,990 K.[10]
The secondary, component B, is a magnitude 9.22[5] star at an angular separation of 15.46″ from the primary along a position angle of 326°.[21] It has a class of G5[5] and 69% of the Sun's mass.[15] The pair share a common proper motion through space with a projected separation of 360.6 astronomical unit|AU.[21]
