Description

Twelve stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud show both hydrogen emission and TiO absorption features in the red and/or infrared. Five of these are known to be composite, apparently combining an M supergiant and a luminous blue component, and are probably VV Cephei stars. The remaining stars are suspected to be of a similar character
