Abstract
We present and discuss VBLUW photometry (Walraven system) of five supergiants in the LMC. For one well-known variable, the hypergiant R 59 = HDE 268757 (G7 Ia +) also Hipparcos photometry and numerous visual observations are available. The second variable is HDE 269612 (F0 Ia), and a third one is HDE 268822 (F6 Ia). Two F6 Ia supergiants turned out to be constant: HDE 269355 and HDE 270025.


Key words: stars: supergiants -- stars: individual: R 59 (HDE 268757) -- stars: individual: HDE 268822 -- stars: individual: HDE 269355 -- stars: individual: HDE 269612 -- stars: individual: HDE 270025

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
