HD 73389 is a binary star [3] system in the constellation Carina. It has the Bayer designation e2 Carinae; HD 73389 is the identifier from the Henry Draper Catalogue. This system is visible to the naked eye as a point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.84. [2] Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 225  light years from the Sun. The system is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +25.6 km/s. [1]

The visual magnitude 5.08 primary, component A, is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0III. [4] With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has cooled and expanded to 11 times the Sun's radius. [1] It is radiating 64 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,903 K. [1] The secondary companion, component B, has a visual magnitude of 8.02 and is located at an angular separation of 0.30 ″ along a position angle of 207° from the primary, as of 2015. [6]
