HD 81101 is a single[7] star in the southern constellation of Carina. It has the Bayer designation k Carinae, while HD 81101 is the star's designation in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star has a yellow hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.79.[2] It is located at a distance of approximately 225 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] This object is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +51 km/s,[1] having come to within 22 light-years of the Sun some 1.4 million years ago.[8]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G6III,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded away from the main sequence. It is two[4] billion years old with 1.95[4] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 65[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,908 K.[1] Being a member of the old disk population,[9] the metallicity of the star's stellar atmosphere is much lower than solar.[5]
