83 Ursae Majoris is a candidate binary star[11] system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It is a semiregular variable star, and it has been given the variable star designation IQ Ursae Majoris. It ranges in brightness from apparent visual magnitude 4.69 to 4.75.[3] Percy and Au (1994) identified it as a small amplitude red variable with an irregular behavior, having a characteristic time scale of 20 days.[12] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.23±0.22 mas,[2] it is located roughly 520 light years from the Sun. The distance derived from its Gaia Early Data Release 3 parallax is 179 pc.[13] The system is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −18.6[6] km/s.

The visible component is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of M2 III.[4] It is a marginal barium star, showing an enhanced abundance of s-process elements in its outer atmosphere. This material may have been acquired during a previous mass transfer from a now white dwarf companion, or self-enriched by a dredge-up during the asymptotic giant branch process.[14]
