32 Leonis Minoris (32 LMi), also known as HD 90840, is a solitary star[14] 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 5.78.[2] The object is located relatively far at a distance of 729 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 2 km/s,[6] which is somewhat constrained. At its current distance, 32 LMi's brightness is diminished by 0.14 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[15] and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.02.[7]

The object has been given several stellar classifications over the years, ranging from main sequence (V) to giant star (III) and A1 to A4. Two of the classifications are A4 V[4] and A4 III.[5] It has 2.01 times the mass of the Sun[8] but at the age of 465 million years,[12] 32 LMi is now on the subgiant branch[8][failed verification] and it has expanded to 6.58 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 241 times the luminosity of the Sun[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,511 K.[3] 32 LMi is metal deficient with an iron abundance only 15.9% that of Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.80)[10] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s.[11]
