11 Leonis Minoris is a binary star[3] located 36.64 light years away from Earth,[2] in the northern constellation of Leo Minor.[12] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.54.[3] The system is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14.4 km/s.[6] It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.764 arc seconds per annum.[13]
The primary component is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G8V,[4] which is slightly less massive and slightly dimmer than the Sun.[8] This is an RS Canum Venaticorum variable star with its luminosity varying by 0.033 magnitudes over a period of 18 days.[1] Compared to the Sun, it has more than double the abundance of elements more massive than helium—what astronomers term the star's metallicity.[9]
There is a secondary component, a 14th[3] magnitude red dwarf star much dimmer than the primary. The pair have an orbital period of 201 years with a high eccentricity of 0.88.[4]
