How can I grow the height of a function letter to match the height of the parameters?

I'm only an occasional LaTeX user, and ever more rare math mode user, so maybe this is simple for others, but not for me:



I have a function named L*, and it has a fraction as parameter. In my first attempt ($L*left(frac{X}{X_N}right)$) it looked as if I wanted to multiply L with the parameter, so I changed it to ${L*}left(frac{X}{X_N}right)$.



Formula L*(X/Xn)



Still in my eyes it looks like a multiplication (can I reduce the spacing between * and (?), so I want the size of L* match the height of the parameter, like this:



Formula L*(X/Xn) with larger L*



(As any TeX-eye can see I faked the size by using an image editor).



What I did try without success was a left{L*}frac{...}{...} which is not allowed, however.



Finally: When answering remember: Simple problems should have simple answers to be efficient. If the answer looks overly complicated (makes the formular very unreadable, I probably will not accept it.
