HD 88231, also known as HR 3993, is a solitary orange-hued star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.84,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of about 569 light-years,[1] and the object is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 7.38 km/s.[7] At its current distance, HD 88231's brightness is diminished by 0.17 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[14] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.59.[8]

The object has a stellar classification of K3 III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved red giant star. It has a comparable mass to the Sun[9] but it has expanded to 24.9 times the radius of the Sun.[10] It radiates 228 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,487 K.[12] HD 88231 is slightly metal enriched with an iron abundance 112% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = +0.05).[9]

HD 88231 was suspected to be variable in the K-band based on Two-Micron Sky Survey observations in 1969.[15] A 1994 paper found that it ranges from 5.79 to 5.88 in the visual band.[3] As of 2004 however, the variability has not been confirmed.[16]
