Thuban has a spectral class of A0. Similar to Vega in temperature and spectrum, but more powerful and more massive.

Thuban is no longer a main sequence star, it has used up all the hydrogen in its core and is now fusing helium. That makes it a white giant star, being 250 times more powerful than our Sun. It's about 300 light years from us.
