11 Ursae Minoris (11 UMi) is the Flamsteed designation of a 5th magnitude K-type giant star located approximately 398 light years away[1] in the constellation Ursa Minor. This star is twice as massive, 28 times bigger, and 258 times more luminous than the Sun.[2]

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.[4]

11 Ursae minoris has a detected planet discovered in August 2009.[3]

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.[3]
