V344 Carinaeis a single[11]starin thesouthernconstellationofCarina.It has theBayer designationf Carinae,whileV344 Carinaeis itsvariable star designation.This star has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitudethat fluctuates around 4.50.[3]Historically, it was mentioned in theAlmagest,suggesting that some time around 130 BCE it was brighter than its current magnitude.[12]This object is located at a distance of approximately 610light-yearsfrom theSunbased onparallax.[2]The star is drifting further away with aradial velocityof around +27 km/s.[3]

This is aB-type main-sequence starwith astellar classificationof B3V(n).[5]It is aBe star;a rapidly rotating star that is hosting a circumstellar disk of hot, decreted gas.[13]It is a photometrically variable Be star, having a brightness that ranges from 4.4 down to 4.51 in visual magnitude, and has been classified as aGamma Cassiopeiae variable.[4]The star is 32[7]million years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocityof 268 km/s.[9]It has seven[7]times themass of the Sunand around 3.0[8]times theSun's radius.The star is radiating 2,328[9]times theluminosity of the Sunfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof17,660K.[9]
