Miaplacidus
(MY-a-PLAS-i-dus)
Beta Carinae
Names For This Star
Allen suggests that the name of the star is connected with the Arabic word Mi'ah meaning "Waters." The latter part of the name, -placidus, is clearly Latin and means "placid". This suggests that the name of the star should be translated as "Placid Waters." See "Dolan2" and "Gibson".
Description of the Star
Miaplacidus is a hot, white A2IV subgiant star having a luminosity of about 210 times that of the sun and a diameter about 5.7 times greater than the sun.
