SP77 46-44 (WOH S341) is a red supergiant star found in the Large Magellanic Cloud in the constellation of Dorado. It is one of the largest stars discovered, with a radius over 1,200 solar radii. If placed in the Solar System, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter.

The apparent magnitude of SP77 46-44 varies by about 0.8 magnitudes around 11.5.[3] No variable star classification has been assigned.[10]

Notes

  1. Applying the Stefan–Boltzmann law with a nominal solar effective temperature of 5,772 K:
    [math]\displaystyle{ \sqrt{(5772/3500)^4 * 220,830} = 1,278.04\ R\odot }[/math]
