Abstract

We present our photometric observations of an early B supergiant with an infrared excess, the protoplanetary object LSIV-12°111, and the previously suspected variable star NSV 24971. We confirm its photometric variability. During two observing seasons (2000–2001), the star exhibited rapid irregular light variations with amplitudes \(\Delta V \sim 0\mathop .\limits^m 3\), \(\Delta B \sim 0\mathop .\limits^m 3\), and \(\Delta U \sim 0\mathop .\limits^m 4\) and a time scale of ∼1d. There is no correlation between the colors and magnitudes of the star. The variability patterns of LSIV-12°111 and two other hot post-AGB stars, V886 Her and V1853 Cyg, are shown to be similar.
