... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...
