HD 76728 is a suspected astrometric binary[7] star system in the constellation Carina. It has the Bayer designation c Carinae; HD 76728 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue. The visible component has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.84.[2] The system is located at a distance of approximately 320 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of around +25 km/s.[2] It is a candidate member of the Volans-Carina Association of co-moving stars.[8]

The visible component is an aging bright giant star with a stellar classification of B8/9II.[3] The spectrum of the star displays metallic lines of magnesium.[9] The Volans-Carina Association to which it belongs has an age of 90 million years.[8] The star has four times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 450 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,180 K.[5]
