|} Delta Leonis (δ Leo / δ Leonis) is a star in the constellation of Leo. It also has traditional names Zosma (or Zozma) or Duhr.

Zosma is a relatively ordinary main sequence star, although it is somewhat larger and hotter than the Sun. It is a fairly well-studied star, allowing for relatively accurate measurements of its age and size. Having a larger mass than the Sun it will have a shorter lifespan, and in another 600 million years or so will swell into an orange or red giant star before decaying quietly into a white dwarf.
