I Carinae is a single, [9] yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation Carina. It is a fourth [2] magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. An annual parallax shift of 61.64  mas provides a distance estimate of 62  light years. It is moving closer with a radial velocity of −5 km/s, [4] and in an estimated 2.7 million years will pass within 24.3 ly (7.46 pc) of the Sun. [10] In the next 7500 years, the south Celestial pole will pass close to this star and Omega Carinae (5800 CE). [11]

Gray et al. (2006) gave this star a stellar classification of F3 V, [3] indicating it is an F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is younger than the Sun with an estimated age of 977 [6] million years, and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 51.6 km/s. [7] The star has 1.4 [6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 5.56 [5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,017 K. [6] It is a variable star and most likely (99.2% chance) the source of detected X-ray emission coming from these coordinates. [12]
