Variable star in the constellation Lepus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AF Leporis, also known as HD 35850, is an F-type main-sequence star located 87.5 light-years (26.8 parsecs) away from the Solar System in the constellation of Lepus. With an apparent magnitude of 6.3, it is near the limit of naked eye visibility under ideal conditions. While some studies consider it to be a close spectroscopic binary with a separation of 0.021AU,[8] other studies show no evidence of binarity, and it is likely that the supposed binarity is an artifact resulting from the presence of starspots.[9][4]
