V Crucis is a
carbon star in the
constellationCrux. A
Mira variable, its
apparent magnitude ranges from 8.7 to 11.1 over 376.5
days.[4] The fact that this star's period is nearly equal to one year makes it hard to get good observational coverage over the entire cycle. Its near-infrared light curve shows a contribution from the first harmonic of the fundamental period.[9]
