HR 4072 is abinary star [ 9] system in the northerncircumpolar constellation ofUrsa Major . It has thevariable star designation ET Ursae Majoris , abbreviated ET UMa,[ 5] whileHR 4072 is the system's designation from theBright Star Catalogue . It has a white hue and is faintly visible to thenaked eye with anapparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.94.[ 3] The system is located at a distance of approximately 339 light years from theSun based onparallax measurements.[ 2] Theradial velocity measurement is poorly constrained, but it appears to be drifting closer to the Sun at the rate of around −3 km/s.[ 3]
This is a double-linedspectroscopic binary [ 7] star system with anorbital period of 11.58 days and aneccentricity of 0.29.[ 6] The orbit for this star was first determined byR. H. Baker in 1912, then later revised.[ 10] [ 6]
The primary, designated component A, is anAp typechemically-peculiar star [ 11] [ 12] [ 13] with astellar classification of A1:VpSiSrHg,[ 4] although it has also been considered to be amercury-manganese star .[ 14] The suffix notation indicates abundance anomalies of silicon, strontium, and mercury in thespectrum . It is anα2 Canum Venaticorum variable with an amplitude of 0.05 magnitude in theB (blue) band .[ 5] The star is rotating slowly with aprojected rotational velocity of 4.5 km/s.[ 7] It is three times larger than the Sun, radiating about 100 solar luminosities from its photosphere at aneffective temperature of 10,260 K .[ 6]
The secondary component has been reported to have characteristics of anAm star .[ 12] It is aF-type star with 1.73 times the size of the Sun and 1.71 times its mass. Its luminosity is about 10 times that of the Sun, or one-tenth of that of the primary, and it has an effective temperature of 7,900 K .[ 6]
