List of stars in Carina


This is the list of notable stars in the constellation Carina, sorted by decreasing brightness.
This constellation's Bayer designations were given while it was still considered part of the constellation of Argo Navis. After Argo Navis was broken up into Carina, Vela, and Puppis, these Greek-letter designations were kept, so that Carina does not have a full complement of Greek-letter designations. For example, since Argo Navis's gamma star went to Vela, there is no Gamma Carinae.
