Gamma Leonis, also named Algieba, is a binary star system in the constellation of Leo, made up of two red giants. In 2009, a planetary companion around the primary was announced.
83 Leonis, abbreviated 83 Leo, is a binary star system approximately 59 light-years away in the constellation of Leo. The primary star of the system is a cool orange subgiant star, while the secondary star is an orange dwarf star. The two stars are separated by at least 515 astronomical units from each other. Both stars are presumed to be cooler than the Sun.
Omega Virginis is a solitary star in the zodiac constellation Virgo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.2, which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual stellar parallax shift of 6.56 milliarcseconds, it is located about 500 light years from the Sun.
Chi Aquarii, Latinized from χ Aquarii, is the Bayer designation of a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The distance to this star, based upon parallax measurements with a 7% margin of error, is roughly 610 light-years. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5.
74 Aquarii is a triple star system in the constellation of Aquarius. 74 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation and it also bears the variable star designation HI Aquarii. The combined apparent visual magnitude is 5.8, although it is very slightly variable, and it is located at a distance of 590 light-years from Earth.
AD Leonis (Gliese 388) is a red dwarf star. It is located relatively near the Sun, at a distance of 16.2 light-years, in the constellation Leo. AD Leonis is a main sequence star with a spectral classification of M3.5V. It is a flare star that undergoes random increases in luminosity.
R Cassiopeiae is a variable star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is located approximately 574 light years distant from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −23 km/s. This is a pulsating Mira-type variable star with a brightness varies from magnitude +4.4 down to +13.5 with a period of 433.6 days. At its maximum, R Cassiopeiae is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star.
R Centauri is a Mira variable star in the constellation Centaurus.
11 Leonis Minoris is a binary star located 36.64 light years away from Earth, in the northern constellation of Leo Minor. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.54. The system is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14.4 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.764 arc seconds per annum.
R Boötis is a variable star in the northern constellation of Boötes. Typically the star is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye, with a brightness that fluctuates between apparent visual magnitudes of 9.98. The distance to this star is approximately 2,150 light years based on parallax measurements. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of about −58 km/s.
Xi Leonis is a solitary star in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.0 and is faintly visible to the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined by parallax measurements, is roughly 229 light years.
U Orionis is a Mira-type variable star in the constellation Orion. It is a classical long period variable star that has been well observed for over 120 years.
DP Leonis is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Leo. It is a variable star that ranges in apparent visual magnitude from 17.5 down to 19. The system is located at a distance of approximately 990 light-years from the Sun based on parallax. It is a cataclysmic variable star of the AM Herculis-type also known as polars. The system comprises an eclipsing white dwarf and red dwarf in tight orbit and an extrasolar planet. This eclipsing variable was discovered by P. Biermann and associates in 1982 as the optical counterpart to the EINSTEIN X-ray source E1114+182.
Pi Leonis, Latinised from π Leonis, is a single star in the zodiac constellation Leo. It is a red-hued star that is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.70. This object is located at a distance of some 410 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +22 km/s. Because the star lies near the ecliptic it is subject to occultations by the Moon.
39 Leonis is the Flamsteed designation for a star in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.90, so, according to the Bortle scale, it is faintly visible from suburban skies at night. Parallax measurements show an annual parallax shift of 0.0449″, which is equivalent to a distance of around 72.6 ly (22.3 pc) from the Sun.
ψ Leonis, is a solitary star located in the zodiac constellation of Leo, to the east-northeast of Regulus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.38. Based upon stellar parallax measurements, it is located around 95 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an absorption factor of 0.3 due to interstellar dust.
S Cassiopeiae is a Mira variable and S-type star in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is an unusually cool star, rapidly losing mass and surrounded by dense gas and dust producing masers.
HD 111395 is a single, variable star in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It has the variable star designation LW Com, short for LW Comae Berenices; HD 111395 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation. The star has a yellow hue and is just bright enough to be barely visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 6.29. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 55.8 light years from the Sun. The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −8.9 km/s. It is a member of the Eta Chamaeleontis stellar kinematic group.
56 Leonis is a red giant variable star located approximately 390 light years away in the constellation Leo.
8 Leonis Minoris is a solitary, red hued star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor. It has an apparent magnitude 5.37, making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite, the object is estimated to be 492 light years distant. It is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 40 km/s. At its current distance, 8 LMi is diminshed by 0.12 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.
