From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bayer designation z Carinae (z Car) is shared by two stars in the constellation Carina:

  • HD 96566 (z1 Carinae), the brighter of the pair, often referred to as simply z Carinae
  • V371 Carinae (z2 Carinae)

They are separated by 0.53° on the sky.

Not to be confused with Z Carinae (HD 88946), a 10.20m Mira variable.
