[ It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +39.8 km/s.[6]]The primary member of 31 Leonis, component A, is an evolved K-type red giant[22] with a stellar classification of {{nowrap|K3.5 IIIb Fe-1:}},[4] where the suffix notation indicates an underabundance of iron in the spectrum. It has expanded to 30[11] times the Solar radius and is radiating around 227[11] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,074 K.[5] The magnitude 13.6 secondary, component B, lies at an angular separation of 7.9 arcseconds, as of 2008.[18]
