28 Leonis Minoris (28 LMi) is a solitary,[10] orange hued star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor, the lesser lion. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.5,[2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite, it is estimated to be 480 light years distant.[1] 28 LMi is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −24 km/s.[5] At its current distance, the star brightness is diminished by 0.14 magnitudes due to interstellar dust. [11]
This is a population II[12] giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] It has a comparable mass to the Sun[7] but has expanded to 22.6 times its girth.[1] It radiates 207 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,580 K.[8] It has an iron abundance 90% of the Sun's, making it slightly metal deficient.[1]
