HR 3582
Scientific overview
HR 3582 is a subgiant in the constellation Carina (Carinae), lying about 673.9 light-years from Earth.
Class B. Hot, blue-white stars. Massive and luminous, they often light up the regions where they form. Such stars have surface temperatures around 10,000–30,000 K and appear blue-white to the eye.
