Keplerian orbit analysis yields stellar mass companions of 1.6M for the 230 day period and 0.14Mfor the 471 day period. However, the HIPPARCOS photometries show a period similar to the stellar rotational period, which is one-quarter of the RV period. Variations in the bisector velocity curvature show a period of 463.6 days. We also find ∼473 day variations in the equivalent width (EW) measurements of the Hα and Hβ lines, whose origin is probably stellar activity. We note that the nature of 471 day variations is similar to one observed in "Sequence D" of Asymptotic Giant Branch pulsating stars. We therefore conclude that the RV and the EW variations in the spectroscopic binary M giant µ UMa A originate from the complex pulsations and the chromospheric activity. Description: Observations were carried out using the fiber-fed high-resolution Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) attached to the 1.8m telescope at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) in Korea. One exposure with the BOES has a wavelength coverage 3500-10500Å distributed over ∼80 spectral orders. In order to provide precise radial velocity measurements, we used the 80µm diameter fiber which yields a resolving power R=90000. Over the eight-year period from 2006 November to 2014 November (56 nights in total), 112 spectra for µ UMa were collected. The estimated signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) in the I2 region was about 250 with a typical exposure time ranging from 60 to 480s. We report our radial velocity data for µ UMa in Table2.
