SMC 018136, also known as PMMR 37, is a M-type supergiant star with a temperature of 3,575 K and a radial velocity of 185.7 km/s located in the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Stellar Properties

SMC 018136 is a red supergiant of spectral type M3.5Ia with an effective temperature 3,575 K, a bolometric luminosity over 200,000 times more than Sun, and a radius over 1,300 times wider than the sun, making it one of the largest stars so far discovered. If it were in the place of the Sun, its photosphere would at least engulf the orbit of Jupiter. This would make it the largest star in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
