OGLE-TR-111 is a yellow dwarf star approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation of Carina (the Keel). Having an apparent magnitude of about 17, this distant and dim star has not yet been cataloged.[1] Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V759 Carinae.
