HD 91942 is a single[ 9] variable star in the constellation Carina . It has the Bayer designation r Carinae , while HD 91942 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue apparent visual magnitude of 4.45.[ 2] parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 1,180 light years from the Sun .[ 1] absolute magnitude of −3.77,[ 2] radial velocity of +9.9 km/s.[ 2]
This object is a massive, aging bright giant with a stellar classification of K3II-IIb.[ 4] variable star that fluctuates in magnitude by an amplitude of 0.05 in the B-band of the UBV photometric system .[ 5] core , it has evolved of the main sequence and cooled and expanded to 156[ 7] Sun's radius . It is an estimated 36[ 6] [ 6] mass of the Sun . It is radiating around 5,500[ 7] luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,983 K.[ 7]
