V602 Carinae (V602 Car, HD 97671) is a red supergiant and variable star of spectral type of M3 in the constellation Carina. It is one of largest known stars.
In 2005, V602 Car was calculated to have a bolometric luminosity below 110,000L☉ and a radius around 860R☉ based on the assumption of an effective temperature of 3,550K.[10] A 2015 study derived a slightly higher bolometric luminosity of 138,000+66,000 −45,000L☉ based on the measured flux and an assumed distance, and a larger radius of 1,050±165R☉ based on the measured angular diameter and luminosity. An effective temperature of 3,432±280K was then calculated from the luminosity and radius.[9] More recent measurements based on a Gaia Data Release 2 parallax of 0.4366±0.0698mas gives a luminosity at 125,000–131,000L☉ with a corresponding radius of 932R☉ based on the same effective temperature derived in 2005.[8]
V602 Car has an estimated mass loss rate of 1.9×10−6M☉ per year.[2] An excess of emission at long wavelengths from this star, as well as a small amount of silicate emission, suggests that it may be enclosed by an extensive cloud of dust.[11]

V602 Car is a semiregular variable star with a maximum brightness range of magnitude 7.6 - 9.1[12] and a period of 635[12] or 672[3] days. Despite the large amplitude of variation, it was only named as a variable star in 2006.[3][12]
