23 Ursae Majoris, or 23 UMa, is a binary star system in the constellation Ursa Major. It is approximately 75.5 light years from Earth.
The primary component is a yellow-white F-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of +3.65. It has 2.9 times the Sun's radius and is emitting 15 times the luminosity of the Sun.[2] Orbiting at an angular separation of 22.7 arcseconds is the 9th magnitude secondary companion. There is a magnitude +10.5 optical companion at an angular separation of 99.6 arcseconds.
With φ, υ, θ, τ, 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,[3]
