The star is classified as a subgiant, meaning that it has ceased fusing hydrogen in its core and started to evolve towards red gianthood.
The secondary component, 83 Leonis B, is an 8th magnitude orange dwarf, somewhat less massive (0.88 MSun), smaller and cooler than the Sun.
Components A and B share common proper motion, which confirms them as a physical pair.
However, this star is moving into a different direction and is therefore not a true member of the 83 Leonis system.
[12] In 2010, a second planet, 83 Leonis Bc, was claimed,[5] but was found to be a false positive in 2016.
