Abstract

We analysed the high-resolution data of the LBV (or S Dor variable) HR Carinae, taken with the FEROS spectrograph in the wavelength range 3900 to 8200 Å . We performed a spectral analysis of the Balmer lines with a non-LTE expanding atmosphere code in order to derive its stellar parameters and to infer its evolutive status.
