Carina (constellation)

constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere

Canopus is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina and the second-brightest star in the night sky. It is designated α Carinae, which is romanized (transliterated) to Alpha Carinae. With a visual apparent magnitude of −0.74, it is outshone only by Sirius.

OGLE-TR-111 is a yellow dwarf star approximately 3,600 light-years away in the constellation of Carina (the Keel) with an apparent magnitude of about 17. Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V759 Carinae.

OGLE-TR-122 is a binary stellar system containing one of the smallest main-sequence stars whose radius has been measured. It was discovered when the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey observed the smaller star eclipsing the larger primary. The orbital period is approximately 7.3 days. The system's primary is thought to resemble the Sun. ==OGLE-TR-122B== thumb|left|Brightness dip and velocity variations of OGLE-TR-122 The smaller star, OGLE-TR-122B, is estimated to have a radius around 0.12 solar radii, or around 20% larger than Jupiter's, and a mass of around 0.1 solar mas

OGLE-TR-113 is a dim, distant magnitude 16 binary star in the star fields of the constellation Carina. Because of its distance of about 1,930 light years, and location in a crowded field it was not notable in any way. Its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, so the star has been given the variable star designation V752 Carinae. Spectral type of the star is type K dwarf star, slightly cooler and less luminous than the Sun.

(2011) OGLE-TR-132 is a distant magnitude 15.72 star in the star fields of the constellation Carina. Because of its great distance, about 4,900 light-years, and location in the crowded field it was not notable in any way. Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V742 Carinae. The spectral type of the star is type F. A yellow-white, very metal-rich subgiant, it is slightly hotter and more luminous

OGLE-TR-111b is an extrasolar planet approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation of Carina (the Keel). The planet is currently the only confirmed planet orbiting the star OGLE-TR-111 (though a possible second planet is plausible).
