Abstract

We present and discuss new long-slit Echelle spectra of the LMC LBV candidate Sk 69279 and put them in context with previous images and spectra. While at first glance it resembles a simple spherically expanding symmetric shell, we find a considerably more complex morphology and kinematics. The spectra indicate that morphologically identified deviations from sphericity are outflows of faster material out of the main body of Sk 69279. The morphological as well as the kinematic similarity with other LBV nebulae makes it likely that Sk 69279 is an LBV candidate and poses the question: in how far are outflows out of expanding LBV nebulae a general property of such nebulae - at least during some phases of their evolutions.
