Chi Ursae Majoris

Chi Ursae Majoris (χ Ursae Majoris, abbreviated Chi UMa, χ UMa), formally named Taiyangshou , is a star in the constellation of Ursa Major. It is approximately 246 light-years from the Sun.
Nomenclature.
"χ Ursae Majoris" (Latinised to "Chi Ursae Majoris") is the star's Bayer designation.
It bore the traditional name "Tai Yang Show", "the Sun Governor", from Chinese astronomy. The name was possibly derived from the word 太陽守, Pinyin: Tàiyángshǒu, meaning "Guard of the Sun", because this star is marking itself and standing alone in the "Guard of the Sun" asterism, Purple Forbidden enclosure (see : Chinese constellations). It also bore traditional names of Arabic origin: "Alkafzah", "Alkaphrah", and "El Koprah".
In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name "Taiyangshou" for this star on 30 June 2017 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.
