5 Ursae Minoris
Star in the constellation Ursa Minor
5 Ursae Minoris is a star in the circumpolar constellation of Ursa Minor . It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.253.[ 2] The distance to this star, as determined from an annual parallax shift of 9.09± 0.13 mas ,[ 1] is about 110 pc. It is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +9 km/s.[ 2]
With an age of around two billion years, this is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K4-III;[ 3] a star that has used up its core hydrogen and has expanded. It is a mild barium star , which may indicate it is a binary with a white dwarf companion,[ 9] and is very lithium-weak.[ 10] The star has an estimated 1.86[ 2] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 16[ 5] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 447[ 2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,095 K.[ 2]
