HD 33283 is a star in the southern constellation Lepus with one planet and a co-moving stellar companion.[3] With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.05,[2] the star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 294 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +4.5.[2]

This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3/5V.[2] It is about 3.6 billion years old and is chromospherically inactive. The star is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1 km/s[6] and an estimated rotation period of about 55.5 days.[5] It is larger and more massive than the Sun. HD 33283 is radiating over four times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,985 K.[4]

In 2014, a co-moving red dwarf companion star, HD 33283 B, of spectral class M4–M5 was detected at an angular separation of 55.7, corresponding to a projected separation of 5,244 AU.[3]
