54 Leonis is a binary star[12] system in the zodiac constellation of Leo, located around 321[3] light years from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.30.[13] As of 2017, the pair had an angular separation of 6.60″ along a position angle of 113°.[14] They have a physical separation of around 533 AU (79,700 Gm).[9]

The magnitude 4.477[2] primary, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V,[5] which indicates it is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 185 km/s. This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 8% larger than the polar radius.[10] The star is roughly 411[8] million years old with 2.4[8] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.88[9] times the Sun's radius.

The fainter magnitude 6.29[4] secondary, component B, is a smaller A-type main-sequence star with a class of A2 Vn.[5] The 'n' suffix indicates wide "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is spinning with an even higher projected rotational velocity of 250[9] km/s. The star has about 2.59[9] times the Sun's radius.

Asteroid 729 Watsonia occulted HIP 53417 on March 3, 2013 at 01:48.[15]
