An evolved post-main sequence supergiant that has been observed in a S Doradus type outburst. In quiescence an LBV may have the following qualities resembling and B or Of-type supergiant:
- Hydrogen emission.
- Some have He I emission.
- Most show Fe II emission with some having [Fe II] emission.
- Free-free emission in the near-infrared but NO warm dust.
A star that has the spectroscopic characteristics of a classical LBV but has never been observed in an S Doradus type outburst is properly classified as a Candidate LBV.
