Abstract

We present results from long-term optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of five pre-main sequence stars, located in the vicinity of the bright nebula NGC 7129. We obtained UBVRI photometric observations in the field centered on the star V391 Cep, north-west of the bright nebula NGC 7129. Our multicolor CCD observations spanned the period from February 1998 to November 2016. At the time of our photometric monitoring, a total of thirteen medium-resolution optical spectra of the stars were obtained. The results from our photometric study show that all stars exhibit strong variability in all optical passbands. Long-term light curves of the five stars indicate the typical classical T Tauri star variations in brightness with large amplitudes. We did not find any reliable periodicity in the brightness variations of all five stars. The results from spectral observations showed that all studied stars can be classified as classical T Tauri stars with rich emission line spectra and strong variability in profiles and intensity of emission lines.
