[17] Consequently, the Chinese name for β Leporis itself is 廁二 (Cè èr), "the Second Star of Toilet".

[18] Based on parallax measurements from the Hipparcos astrometry satellite,[19] this star is located about 160 light-years (49 parsecs) from the Earth.

The mass of this star is 3.5 times the mass of the Sun and it is about 240 million years old,[7] which is the sufficient time for a star this massive to consume the hydrogen at its core and evolve away from the main sequence, becoming a G-type bright giant.

[3] The angular diameter of Beta Leporis, after correction for limb darkening, is 3.003±0.066 mas.

[22] Component B has been observed to fluctuate in brightness and is catalogued as suspected variable star NSV 2008.
