HD 73389 is abinary star[3] system in theconstellationCarina. It has theBayer designatione2 Carinae;HD 73389 is the identifier from theHenry Draper Catalogue. This system is visible to the naked eye as a point of light with a combinedapparent visual magnitude of +4.84.[2] Based onparallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 225 light years from theSun. The system is drifting further away with aradial velocity of +25.6 km/s.[1]
The visual magnitude 5.08 primary, component A, is an agingK-typegiant star with astellar classification of K0III.[4] With the supply of hydrogen at itscore exhausted, it has cooled and expanded to 11 times theSun's radius.[1] It is radiating 64 times theluminosity of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,903 K.[1] The secondary companion, component B, has avisual magnitude of 8.02 and is located at anangular separation of0.30″ along aposition angle of 207° from the primary, as of 2015.[6]
