Zeta Ursae Minoris is a main sequence dwarf belonging to the spectral type A3Vn. It is in fact on the verge of becoming a giant star, with 3.4 times the mass of the Sun, 200 times the luminosity, and a surface temperature of 8,700 kelvins. Zeta Ursae Minoris is also classified as a suspected Delta Scuti variable. Epsilon Ursae Minoris A is also classified as an RS Canum Venaticorum type variable star. The luminosity of the binary system changes as a result of the components eclipsing each other, and the overall brightness varies from magnitude 4.19 to 4.23 with a period of 39.48 days. Ursa Minor belongs to the Ursa Major family of constellations, along with Coma Berenices, Boötes, Camelopardalis, Canes Venatici, Corona Borealis, Draco, Leo Minor, Lynx, and Ursa Major.
