Ursa Minor Dwarf Galaxy

The Ursa Minor Dwarf dwarf elliptical galaxy is a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy consists mainly of older stars and there appears to be little to no ongoing star formation in the Ursa Minor Dwarf galaxy.

The UMi system has a straight forward evolutionary history with a single ~2 billion years long burst of star formation around 11 billion years ago.
