Abstract

AbstractLuminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are massive stars, in a transition phase, from being O-type stars and rapidly becoming Wolf-Rayet objects. LBVs possess powerful stellar winds, high luminosities and show photometric and spectroscopic variability. We present the stellar and wind parameters of He3-519 obtained by the modeling of UVES observations with the model atmosphere code CMFGEN. We compare our results to previous studies in order to find mid-time scale variability of the stellar parameters and finally, we use stellar evolution models to determine the evolutionary status of this star.
