Star in the constellation Carina
V448 Carinae is a single[9] star in the constellation Carina . It has the Bayer designation O Carinae , while V448 Carinae is the variable star designation . This object has an orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 5.60.[3] light years from the Sun based on parallax , and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of around +26 km/s.[2]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K5III.[5] core , it has cooled and expanded off the main sequence and now has 51 times the girth of the Sun .[2] semiregular variable star with a sub-type of SRd and a brightness that varies from visual magnitude 5.66 down to 5.86 over a period of 56.5 days.[4] mass of the Sun .[7] luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,974 K.[2]
