HD 110432 is a Be star in the south-east of Crux, behind the center of the southern hemisphere's darkCoalsack Nebula. It has a stellar classification of B1IVe, which means it is a subgiant star of class B that displays emission lines in its spectrum. This is a variable star of the Gamma Cassiopeiae type, indicating it is a shell star with a circumstellar disk of gas about the equator, and has the variable star designationBZ Crucis. It is not known to be a member of a binary system, although it is probably a member of the open clusterNGC 4609. This star is moderately luminous in the X-ray band, with a variable energy emission of 1032–33 erg s−1 in the range 0.2−12keV. The X-ray emission may be caused by magnetic activity, or possibly by accretion onto a white dwarf companion.[3]

Location of BZ Crucis (circled). The other star shown overlapping/underlying the dark nebula is HD 109000 (HR 4771) which is a red/brown star about half the distance to the nebula, having parallax of 12.8 ± 0.05 thus about 250 light years away[1]
BZ Crucis is the bright star between the open clusters NGC 4609 and Hogg 15
Distance
The distance of 388pc published in the 2007 new Hipparcos reduction is over twice the distance of the Coalsack Nebula.[10] The distance from Gaia Data Release 2 is even further at 420pc.[1]
