Omega Ursae Majoris (Omega UMa, ω Ursae Majoris, ω UMa) is a binary star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.61.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.24 mas,[1] it is roughly 246 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.11 due to interstellar dust.[6]

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 15.8 days and an eccentricity of 0.31.[7] The primary member, component A, is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A1VsSi:.[3] The stellar spectrum has the appearance of a hot Am star, showing overabundances of many iron-peak and heavier elements, but an underabundance of helium.[12] In particular, it has an abnormal abundance of silicon.[13]

Naming

In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Celestial Prison, refers to an asterism consisting of ω Ursae Majoris, 57 Ursae Majoris, 47 Ursae Majoris, 58 Ursae Majoris, 49 Ursae Majoris and 56 Ursae Majoris. Consequently, the Chinese name for ω Ursae Majoris itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx.).[14]
