HD 40235 is a star in the constellation Lepus. At an apparent magnitude of 6.37, it is faintly visible to the naked eye in locations far from light pollution. Parallax measurements give a distance of 475 light-years (145.7 parsecs).
The spectrum of this star matches a spectral class of K0III, with the luminosity class III indicating it is a giant that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core. The star has a mass 1.51 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11.6 times the Sun's radius. It now radiates 60 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,853 K. This temperature give it the orange hue typical of a K-type star.
