V528 Carinae (V528 Car / HD 95950 / HIP 54021) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.
Distance
Its minimum apparent magnitude is +6.75, it is a distant star that is to an uncertain distance. The measure parallax by the Hipparcos satellite gives a negative value, Its Carinae star cluster membership allows estimate its distance OB2 in 3,850 light-years.[6]
Characteristic
V528 Carinae is a red supergiant of spectral type M2I with an effective temperature of 3,700 K. It has a radius 700 solar radii, making it one of the largest stars. In the visible spectrum luminosity is 11,900 times higher than the Solar bolometric luminosity but-considering all lengths of wave-number reaches 81,000 times the solar luminosity.[2] loses mass in powder form at 0.5 × 10-9 solar masses per year.[6]
Billed as an irregular variable-LC whose prototype is TZ Cassiopeiae, V528 Carinae brightness fluctuates between magnitude +6.51 and +6.75 without periodicity is known alguna.[5]
