[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.73 mas as seen from the Earth, it is located around 300 light years from the Sun.

[6] This system forms a detached,[5] single-lined spectroscopic binary[3] with an orbital period of 39.5 days and a low eccentricity of 0.04.

[12] The orbital plane is nearly aligned with the line of sight to the Earth, so the pair forms an eclipsing binary.

The primary has a high projected rotational velocity of 25.6 km/s,[3] which is likely the result of synchronization effects from tidal interaction with the secondary.

[13] Epsilon Ursae Minoris has a visual companion: a magnitude 12.32 star at an angular separation of 77.0 arc seconds along a position angle of 2°, as of 2014.
