72 Leonis is a single[9] variable star in the zodiac constellation of Leo, located roughly 1,000 light years away from the Sun.[1] It has the variable star designation FN Leonis; 72 Leonis is the Flamsteed designation. In Chinese astronomy, 72 Leonis is called 虎賁, Pinyin: Hǔbēn, meaning Emperor’s Bodyguard, because this star is marking itself and stands alone in the Emperor’s Bodyguard asterism, Supreme Palace enclosure mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[10]
This object is visible to the naked eye as a red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.56.[4] It is an evolved bright giant with a stellar classification of M3 IIb and was listed as a spectral standard star for that class.[3] The star is classified as an irregular variable of type LC, ranging from Hipparcos magnitude 4.56 down to 4.64.[5] It has a radius 162 to 179[11] times that of the Sun and radiates 5,407[12] times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of around 3,734 K.[13] The star is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 15 km/s.[4]
