[2] Its apparent magnitude ranges from 5.20 to 5.28, making it faintly visible to the naked eye of an observer well away from city lights.

[3] 32 Virginis is a binary star,[11] and the more massive component of the binary is a Delta Scuti variable star which oscillates with a dominant period of 103.51 minutes.

[11] In 1914, Walter Sydney Adams announced that 32 Virginis is a spectroscopic binary.

[12] John Beattie Cannon published the first set of orbital elements for the binary system in 1915.

[15] Donald Kurtz et al. determined that the star was a Delta Scuti variable, in 1976.
