V528 Carinae (V528 Car, HD 95950, HIP 54021) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.
V528 Carinae has an apparent visual magnitude that varies between about 6.3 and 6.8. It is a distant star but the exact distance is uncertain. The Hipparcos satellite gives a negative annual parallax and is not helpful, [8] while the Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of 0.45 mas implies a distance of around 7,200 light years (2,200 parsecs). [1] Assuming membership of the Carina OB2 membership would give a distance of about 1,830 parsecs . [9]
V528 Carinae is a red supergiant of spectral type M2 Ib with an effective temperature of 3,700 K . It has a radius of 700 solar radii. [5] In the visible spectrum, its luminosity is 11,900 times higher than the Sun, [11] but the bolometric luminosity considering all wavelengths reaches around 81,000 L☉ [5] . It loses mass at 0.5×10−9 M☉ per year. [12]
It is classified as a slow irregular variable whose prototype is TZ Cassiopeiae. [6]
HD 84810, also known as l Carinae, is a star in the southern constellation of Carina. Its apparent magnitude varies from about 3.4 to 4.1, making it readily visible to the naked eye and one of the brightest members of Carina. Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 1,600 light-years from Earth.
V533 Carinae is a A-type supergiant and a Alpha Cygni variable star with a mean apparent magnitude of +4.59 in the constellation Carina. It is located at a distance of about 13,000 light years.
HD 95109 is a Classical Cepheid variable, a type of variable star, in the constellation Carina. Its apparent magnitude is 6.86.
HR Carinae is a luminous blue variable star located in the constellation Carina. It is surrounded by a vast nebula of ejected nuclear-processed material because this star has a multiple shell expanding atmosphere. This star is among the most luminous stars in the Milky Way. It has very broad emission wings on the Balmer lines, reminiscent from the broad lines observed in the spectra of O and Wolf–Rayet stars. A distance of 5 kpc and a bolometric magnitude of −9.4 put HR Car among the most luminous stars of the galaxy.
NO Aurigae is a pulsating variable star in the constellation Auriga. It is an unusually-luminous asymptotic giant branch star about 3,500 light years away.
V381 Cephei is a triple star system in the northern constellation of Cepheus. Its apparent magnitude is slightly variable between 5.5 and 5.7.
V602 Carinae is a red supergiant and variable star of spectral type M3 in the constellation Carina. It is considered to be one of largest known stars, being around 1,000 times larger than the Sun.
RT Carinae, also known as CD-58 3538, is a red supergiant and a variable star, located 7,000 light years away in the constellation Carina. It is in the Carina Nebula. The average apparent magnitude of +8.55, too faint to be visible to the naked eye.
PZ Cassiopeiae is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Cassiopeia, and a semi-regular variable star.
V1073 Scorpii is a variable star in the constellation Scorpius. It has a non-Greek Bayer designation of k Scorpii. The star has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around +4.87. Parallax measurements yield a distance estimate of approximately 2,920 ly (896 pc) from the Sun, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +7 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of −6.8
AC Herculis, is an RV Tauri variable and spectroscopic binary star in the constellation of Hercules. It varies in brightness between apparent magnitudes 6.85 and 9.0.
EV Carinae is a red supergiant and pulsating variable star of spectral type M4Ia in the constellation Carina. It is a semiregular variable star with its apparent magnitude varying between 7.4 and 9.0 in the visible band, making it only seen by binoculars or a telescope. Various periods have been identified, but the dominant one is around 347 days. It is an MK spectral standard star for the class M4.5Ia.
TV Geminorum is a variable red supergiant in the constellation Gemini. Its visual magnitude varies from 6.3 to 7.5.
BC Cygni is a red supergiant and pulsating variable star of spectral type M3.5Ia in the constellation Cygnus.
RW Cygni is a semiregular variable star in the constellation Cygnus, about a degree east of 2nd magnitude γ Cygni. Its apparent magnitude varies between 8.05 and 9.70 and its spectral type between M3 and M4.
V419 Cephei is an irregular variable star in the constellation of Cepheus with an apparent magnitude that varies between 6.54 and 6.89.
CK Carinae is a variable star in the constellation Carina, the keel of Argo Navis. It is a member of the star association Carina OB1-D, at a distance of around 2,300 parsecs or 7,500 light years.
BO Carinae, also known as HD 93420, is an irregular variable star in the constellation Carina.
MZ Puppis is a red supergiant star in the constellation of Puppis. It has a radius of 400 R☉.
V538 Carinae is a variable star in the constellation of Carina, and a possible red supergiant. It is located around 15,000 light-years from Earth. The negative radial velocity of -1.85 km/s show that it is slowly moving towards Earth.
