This is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] It is 1.2 billion years old with twice the mass of the Sun.[3] As a consequence of exhausting the hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 28 times the Sun's radius.[3] It is radiating 258 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,358 K.[3]
11 Ursae Minoris is sometimes named Pherkard or Pherkad Minor, the later name to distinguish it from Pherkad (Major) which is γ Ursae minoris. It has also been designated as γ1 Ursae minoris, in which case the brighter Pherkad is called γ2 Ursae minoris, but these names are rarely used.[7] 11 Ursae Minoris is the Flamsteed designation.
11 Ursae minoris has a detected planet discovered in August 2009.[4]
Planetary system
11 Ursae minoris b was discovered during a radial velocity survey of 62 K type Red giant stars using the 2m Alfred Jensch telescope of the Thuringian State Observatory in Germany.[4]
