30 Leonis Minoris in optical light

30 Leonis Minoris is a single[11] star in the northern constellation of Leo Minor. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.72.[2] The distance to this star, as estimated from parallax measurements, is 233 light years.[1] It is drifting away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +13.7 km/s.[6]

This object has been catalogued as an Am star[12] and was given a stellar classification of kF0hF2mF2[3] by Abt and Morrell (1995). This notation indicates the calcium K line matches an F0 star, while the hydrogen and metal lines fit an F2 star. However, Gray et al. (2001) assigned it a class of A9IIIa,[4] matching an A-type giant star.

30 Leonis Minoris has 2.3[7] times the mass of the Sun and 4.2[8] times the Sun's radius. It has a moderate rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 34 km/s.[7] The star is radiating 58[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,292 K.[9]
