HR 3803 or N Velorum (N Vel) is a 3rd-magnitude star on the border between the southern constellations Carina and Vela. Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately Script error: No such module "convert". from Earth.
It has a spectral classificafion of K5III,[4] indicating that it has evolved from the main sequence and is now a giant star. At this evolutionary stage, N Velorum has expanded to 66 times the size of the Sun and is emitting 776 times its luminosity.[6] Its effective temperature is of 3,964Script error: No such module "String".K,[6] 30% cooler than the Sun, which gives it the typical orange hue of K-type stars.[7]
In 1752, French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille divided the former constellation Argo Navis into three separate constellations, and then referenced its stars by extending Bayer's system of star nomenclature;[8] this star was given the designation N Velorum. In 1871 Benjamin Apthorp Gould discovered this star to be variable, but this occurred prior to the standardization of variable star nomenclature by German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Argelander during the nineteenth century, so it does not fall into the standard range of variable star designations.[9]
