11 Ursae Minoris (11 UMi, Iota Ursae Minoris) is a 5th magnitude K-type giant star located approximately 398 light years away[2] in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is sometimes named Pherkard or Pherkad Minor, the later name to distinguish it from Pherkad (Major) which is Gamma Ursae Minoris. This star is 1.8 times more massive, 24 times bigger, and 185 times more luminous than our Sun. This star has a detected planet discovered in August 2009.[1]
