Upsilon Ursae Majoris, Latinized from υ Ursae Majoris, is a binary star[12] in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.79.[4] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.24 mas,[1] it is located roughly 246 light-years from the Sun.

The primary member of the system, component A, is an F-type subgiant star. It is a Delta Scuti variable[8] with a period of 0.1327 day and an amplitude of 0.050 magnitude.[14] With an estimated age of 1.168[7] billion years, it is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 124.2 km/s[10] and a rotation period of 1.2 days.[8] The star has about 1.57[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.79[8] times the Sun'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 the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 7,211 K.[7]

The companion, component B, is a magnitude +11.0 star.[12] As of 2008, it has an angular separation of 11.78 arcseconds along a position angle of 295.4°. This corresponds to a projected separation of 419.8 AU.[3] It has a mass around 40% that of the Sun.[3]

Naming

With τ, h, φ, θ, e and f, it composed the Arabic asterism Sarīr Banāt al-Na'sh, the Throne of the daughters of Na'sh, and Al-Haud, the Pond.[15] According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Al-Haud were the title for seven stars : f as Alhaud I, τ as Alhaud II, e as Alhaud III, h as Alhaud IV, θ as Alhaud V, this star (υ) as Alhaud VI and φ as Alhaud VII .[16]

In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Administrative Center, refers to an asterism consisting of υ Ursae Majoris, φ Ursae Majoris, θ Ursae Majoris, 15 Ursae Majoris and 18 Ursae Majoris. Consequently, the Chinese name for υ Ursae Majoris itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx.).[17]
