The massive star population in M101. III. Spectra and photometry of the luminous and variable stars.

GRAMMER S.H., HUMPHREYS R.M. and GERKE J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We discuss moderate-resolution spectra, multicolor photometry, and light curves of 31 of the most luminous stars and variables in the giant spiral M101. The majority are intermediate A- to F-type supergiants. We present new photometry and light curves for three known ''irregular blue variables,'' V2, V4, and V9, and identify a new candidate. Their spectra and variability confirm that they are luminous blue variable (LBV) candidates and V9 may be in an LBV-like maximum light state or eruption.
