HD 91942 is a single[9] variable star in the constellation Carina. It has the Bayer designation r Carinae, while HD 91942 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue. This orange-hued object is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.45.[2] Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 1,180 light years from the Sun.[1] The star has an absolute magnitude of −3.77,[2] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +9.9 km/s.[2]

This object is a massive, aging bright giant with a stellar classification of K3II-IIb.[4] It is a suspected variable star that fluctuates in magnitude by an amplitude of 0.05 in the B-band of the UBV photometric system.[5] With the supply of hydrogen exhausted at its core, it has evolved of the main sequence and cooled and expanded to 156[7] times the Sun's radius. It is an estimated 36[6] million years old with eight[6] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating around 5,500[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,983 K.[7]
