HR 4177, also called t2 Carinae (t2 Car), is a double star[2] in the southern constellation of Carina. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.77.[2] The two components are HD 92397 and HD 92398. The primary component is located at a distance of approximately 1,600 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +11 km/s.[3] It has a peculiar velocity of 24.3+9.9
−16.1 km/s and may be a runaway star.[4] The star is a member of the BH 99 cluster.[7]

The magnitude 4.85[2] primary, component A, is a massive K-type supergiant or bright giant with a stellar classification of K4.5Ib-II.[3] Houk (1978) instead listed it with a class of K4/5III: but with some uncertainty about the classification.[8] It has 12[4] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 202[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 8,478[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its bloated photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,900 K.[1]

The magnitude 7.48 companion star, component B, was discovered by J. Dunlop in 1829. As of 2015, it was located at an angular separation of 14.60″ along a position angle of 21°, relative to the primary.[9] It is a B-type giant/bright giant star with a class of B9II/III.[3] The pair show a common proper motion and roughly similar parallax measurements,[1] but it remains unclear whether they form a gravitationally-bound pair.[2]
