Scientific paper

We report IUE and ground-based data indicating that the star He 3-519 has a distance of roughly 8 kpc and an absolute bolometric magnitude of about -11, comparable to AG Car. Its luminosity, spectrum, and large, massive circumstellar shell indicate that this may be a post-LBV object which has not yet become a full-fledged WN star. One notable peculiarity of He 3-519 is its prominent Fe III (?) 3008 A emission; the reason why this feature is so bright in this star's dense envelope or wind, but not in other related stars, is not yet clear.
