Binary star in the constellation Ursa Major
Upsilon Ursae Majoris ,Latinized fromυ Ursae Majoris , is abinary star [ 12] in thenorthern circumpolar constellation ofUrsa Major . It is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of +3.79.[ 4] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 13.24 mas ,[ 1] it is located roughly 246 light-years from theSun .
Alight curve for Upsilon Ursae Majoris, plotted fromTESS data[ 13] The primary member of the system, component A, is anF-type subgiant star. It is aDelta Scuti variable [ 8] with a period of 0.1327 day and anamplitude of 0.050 magnitude.[ 14] With an estimated age of 1.168[ 7] billion years, it is spinning rapidly with aprojected rotational velocity of 124.2 km/s[ 10] and arotation period of 1.2 days.[ 8] The star has about 1.57[ 7] times themass of the Sun and 2.79[ 8] times theSun's radius . (De Rosa and colleagues give a mass estimate of 2.2[ 3] times the Sun's mass.) It is radiating around 29.5[ 9] times thesolar luminosity from itsouter atmosphere at aneffective temperature of 7,211 K.[ 7]
The companion, component B, is a magnitude +11.0 star.[ 12] As of 2008, it has anangular separation of 11.78 arcseconds along aposition angle of 295.4°. This corresponds to aprojected separation of 419.8 AU .[ 3] It has a mass around 40% that of the Sun.[ 3]
Withτ ,h ,φ ,θ ,e andf , it composed the Arabicasterism Sarīr Banāt al-Na'sh , the Throne of the daughters ofNa'sh , andAl-H aud , the Pond.[ 15] According to the catalogue of stars in theTechnical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars ,Al-H aud were the title for seven stars :f asAlhaud I ,τ asAlhaud II ,e asAlhaud III ,h asAlhaud IV ,θ asAlhaud V , this star (υ) asAlhaud VI andφ asAlhaud VII .[ 16]
InChinese ,文昌 (Wén Chāng ), meaningAdministrative Center , refers to an asterism consisting of υ Ursae Majoris,φ Ursae Majoris ,θ Ursae Majoris ,15 Ursae Majoris and18 Ursae Majoris . Consequently, theChinese name for υ Ursae Majoris itself is文昌一 (Wén Chāng yī , English:the first Star of Administrative Center .).[ 17]
