93 Leonis (93 Leo) is a binary star in the constellation Leo. Its apparent magnitude is 4.522.[3] Based on the system's parallax, 93 Leonis is located about 233 light-years (71 parsecs) away.[2]
93 Leonis is a double-lined spectroscopic binary. Two components are known to exist, because their spectral lines shift periodically, due to the Doppler effect. The two stars are a G-type red giant and an A-type main-sequence star.[4] They complete an orbit once every 71.69 days. The system is also known to be an RS Canum Venaticorum variable, due to its binarity.[6] For that reason, it has been given the variable star designation DQ Leonis.[6]
In Chinese astronomy, 93 Leonis is called 太子, Pinyin: Tàizǐ, meaning Crown Prince, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Crown Prince asterism, Supreme Palace enclosure mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[9]
