The star was identified to be a nearby red dwarf at distance of 6.359 parsecs (20.74 ly) away from the sun in 2001, and its parallax was first measured in 2006. As typical for very cool red dwarfs, its spectrum is dominated by molecular water absorption. The stellar metallicity is similar to that of the Sun.
Radial velocity measurements did not yield any detection of a stellar companion or giant planet in orbit around LHS 2090, as of 2018.
