Isn't this system a spectroscopic binary? This paper ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/9901228.pdf) reports that finding. DrHacky ( talk) 18:06, 1 March 2017 (UTC) reply

That's pretty old, speculative even at the time, and has never been confirmed. Lithopsian ( talk) 19:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC) reply

On 11 November 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Gamma Ursae Majoris to Phecda. The result of the discussion was moved.

Doesn't look like much solely about this star, but plenty about Ursa Major or the Big Dipper. Lithopsian ( talk) 15:18, 29 March 2023 (UTC) reply

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Alpha Ursae Majoris which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 09:32, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
