Pi1 Ursae Minoris [ 14] is a common proper motion binary star [ 15] system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Minor . The pair have apparent visual magnitudes of +6.58 and +7.31, with a combined magnitude of 6.1.[ 2] They are located about 71 light years from the Sun . The two have an angular separation of 31.4 arc seconds ,[ 15] which corresponds to a physical separation of about 680 AU ,[ 16] and orbit each other with a period of about 13,100 years.[ 9]
Both stars are solar analogs and have been listed as possible members of the Hercules-Lyra association , one of the nearest moving groups to the Sun ,[ 16] although this is now considered unlikely.[ 17] The primary, π1 Ursae Minoris A, has a mass 2% higher than the sun, an almost identical effective temperature at 5,771 K , a radius 98% of the sun's , and a bolometric luminosity 93% of the sun's . The secondary, π1 Ursae Minoris B, has a mass 92% of the sun's, a slightly lower temperature of 5,408 K , a radius 84% of the sun's, and a luminosity slightly over half of the sun.
