Description

AD Leo is a dM4e solar neighborhood red dwarf on the main sequence. It has an effective temperature of 35000K, radius of 0.44 R/sub solar/ and a bolomeric luminosity of 0.024 L/sub solar/. The mass-luminosity relation implies a mass of 0.44 M/sub solar/. Photometry of starspots indicates a rotation period of 2.7 days implying that the rotation axis of AD Leo is inclined 380 to the line of sight
