HD 83944 is a star system in the constellation Carina. This has the Bayer designation m Carinae, while HD 83944 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue. It is a suspected variable with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.51[2] with an amplitude of 0.5.[8] The system is located at a distance of approximately 226 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and it has an absolute magnitude of 0.31.[2] It is a member of the Carina association of co-moving stars.[9]

Although previously believed to be a single star,[10] Chini et al. (2012) found this to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary.[11] The stellar classification of B9IV/V matches a star that is entering the subgiant phase,[4] although stellar models suggest it is still in the main sequence.[3]
