More about EE Leonis
Nearby star EE Leonis is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. It is approximately 30 % of the size of Sun and temperature on its surface is around 3345 K (3072 °C), which is about 58 % of Sun's temperature.
      a BY Draconis variable. Stars from this category exhibit periodic variations in their luminosity. The variability is caused by a rotation which shows and hides starspots on the surface. EE Leonis can be found in northern celestial hemisphere, however it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye or even a small telescope.
