HR 3159 is a single[ 10] star in the southern constellation of Carina , positioned near the southern constellation border with Volans . It has the Bayer designation D Carinae ; HR 3159 is the Bright Star Catalogue designation. This object has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.81.[ 2] It is located at a distance of approximately 499 light years from the Sun based on parallax ,[ 1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 22 km/s.
This object is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B4V,[ 3] which indicates it is undergoing core hydrogen fusion . The star has a radius of nearly four times the radius of the Sun,[ 5] and over six[ 4] times the Sun's mass . Age estimates range from 17[ 4] up to 176[ 8] million years old, and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 43 km/s.[ 6] It is radiating 912[ 6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 16,983 K.[ 6]
