HD 90853
HD 90853 is a single[9] star in the southern constellation Carina. It has the Bayer designation s Carinae, while HD 98053 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue. This is a variable star with an apparent visual magnitude that ranges from 3.36 down to 3.51,[10] and thus is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of approximately 1,340 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and has an absolute magnitude of −4.44.[2] The star is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +9 km/s.[2]
