34 Leonis Minoris
Star in the constellation Leo Minor
34 Leonis Minoris (34 LMi), also known as HD 91365 or 11 H. Leonis Minoris is a solitary star [ 13] 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 5.58.[ 2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 510 light-years ,[ 1] and it is currently receding with a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of 7 km/s .[ 5] At its current distance, 34 LMi's brightness is diminished by interstellar extinction of 0.16 magnitudes and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.02.[ 6]
The object has received several stellar classifications over the years. Most sources generally agree that it is an early A-type main-sequence star with the classes ranging from A0 to A2.[ 4] [ 14] [ 10] Anne Cowley and colleagues found that 34 LMi has broad or nebulous absorption lines in its spectrum,[ 15] which could be a result of rapid rotation. However, D. R. Palmer gave a class of A0 IV,[ 16] indicating that it is an evolved A-type subgiant .[ 16] Richard O. Gray and Robert F. Garrison found a class of A1 III-IV, indicating that it has a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and giant star .[ 17]
34 LMi has 2.4 times the mass of the Sun [ 7] and an enlarged radius of 4.85 R ☉ .[ 8] It radiates 323 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,333 K .[ 3] At the age of 406 million years [ 7] 34 LMi is 1.9% past its main sequence lifetime,[ 3] meaning that it has evolved to the subgiant branch . The star has a near-solar metallicity at [Fe/H] = −0.03 (93% solar).[ 9] Like many hot stars 34 LMi spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 165 km/s .[ 10]
