BG Crucis is a star in the southern constellation of Crux. A classical Cepheid variable, its apparent magnitude ranges from 5.34 to 5.58 over 3.3428 days.[3] A yellow-white supergiant that pulsates between spectral types F5Ib and G0p, it is around 4.3 times as massive and 2,000 times as luminous as the Sun.[6]
