OGLE-TR-132

OGLE-TR-132 is a distant magnitude-15.72 star in the star fields of the constellation Carina. Because of its great distance, about 4,900 light-years, and location in the crowded field it was not notable in any way. Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V742 Carinae. The spectral type of the star is type F. A yellow-white, very metal-rich subgiant,^[3] it is slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun.
