[8545] delta Ursae Minoris, or Yildun ("star") is a white dwarf approximately 183 light-years distant.
YILDUN (Delta Ursae Minoris). Yildun has two distinctions, neither of them involving the star itself. At faint fourth magnitude, almost fifth, it is certainly not very bright for a named star.
The second star in the Little Bear's tail, Delta Ursae Minoris, is called Yildun, a mis-spelling of the Turkish word yildiz meaning ‘star'.
