Scientific paper

S Dor is a prototypical Luminous Blue Variable and is one of the brightest objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The star's photometric history over the last century is described by van Genderen et al. (1997) in terms of a very-long-term and a quasi-periodic (7 year) variation. The faintest V-magnitude (V=11.3) was observed in 1965, while the brightest V-magnitude (V=8.8) was observed in 2006 by the All Sky Automated Survey (Pojmanski 2002).
