Ursa Major, along with asterisms it contains or overlaps, is significant to numerous world cultures, often as a symbol of the north. Its depiction on the flag of Alaska is a modern example of such symbolism. Ursa Major is visible throughout the year from most of the Northern Hemisphere, and appears circumpolar above the mid-northern latitudes ...
47 Ursae Majoris is the Flamsteed designation.On their discoveries the planets were successively designated 47 Ursau Majoris b, c and d. In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars. [11]

23 Ursae Majoris, or 23 UMa, is a binary star system in the constellation Ursa Major, [4] located is approximately 77.7 light years from the Sun. [1] It has the Bayer designation h Ursae Majoris; 23 Ursae Majoris is the Flamsteed designation. The system is visible to the naked eye as a yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of ...
26 Ursae Majoris is a single [9] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major, located 262 light years away from the Sun. [1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.47. [2] The object is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +22 km/s. [5]
AE Ursae Majoris is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major, abbreviated AE UMa. It is a variable star that ranges in brightness from a peak apparent visual magnitude of 10.86 down to 11.52. [3] The distance to this star is approximately 2,400 light years based on parallax measurements. [2]
Phi Ursae Majoris, Latinized from φ Ursae Majoris, is a binary star [11] system in the northern constellation of Ursa Major.It is white-hued and is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.60; [2] the primary is magnitude 5.28 while the secondary is magnitude 5.39.
