Sigma Leonis, Latinized from σ Leonis, is a blue-white hued star in the zodiac constellation Leo that is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.0.[2] Its annual parallax shift of 15.24 mas as seen from Earth implies a distance around 210 light years from the Sun. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of –5 km/s.[5]

Chini et al. (2012) list this as a single-lined spectroscopic binary system.[3] The visible component has a stellar classification of B9.5 Vs,[3] indicating it is a B-type main-sequence star. It is a suspected magnetic Ap star that shows an abundance anomaly with the element silicon.[12] Sigma Leonis has an estimated 2.76[7] times the mass of the Sun and 3.3[8] times the Sun's radius. It is about 293[7] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s.[10] The star is radiating 133[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,250 K.[8]

Name

[edit]

In Chinese, 太微右垣 (Tài Wēi Yòu Yuán), meaning Right Wall of Supreme Palace Enclosure, refers to an asterism consisting of σ Leonis, β Virginis, ι Leonis, θ Leonis and δ Leonis.[13] Consequently, the Chinese name for σ Leonis itself is 太微右垣二 (Tài Wēi Yòu Yuán èr, English: the Second Star of Right Wall of Supreme Palace Enclosure.),[14] representing 西上將 (Xīshǎngjiāng), meaning The First Western General.[15] 西上將 (Xīshǎngjiāng), spelled Shang Tseang by R.H. Allen, means "the Higher General".[16]
