Abstract
Two of the five cocoon stars in the “Quintuplet” cluster of young, luminous objects, located about 30 pc in projection from the Galactic Centre, are variables. The nearby “Pistol Star”, also called the “Serendipitous Star”, and a similar object, both suspected on spectroscopic grounds of being Luminous Blue Variables, have indeed been found to vary, confirming their tentative classification. A further variable apparent member of the cluster is probably a Mira in the same line of sight.
