SN2002kg is a type IIn supernova, detected in October 2002 in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2403. We show that the position of SN2002kg agrees within the errors with the position of the LBV V37. Ground based and HST ACS images however show that V37 is still present after the SN2002kg event. We compiled a lightcurve of V37 which underlines the variablity of the object, and shows that SN2002kg was the brightening of V37 and not a supernova. The recent brightening is not a giant eruption, but more likely part of an S Dor phase. V37 shows strong Halpha +[NII] emission in recent images and in the SN2002kg spectrum, which we interprete as the signature of the presence of an LBV nebula. A historic spectrum lacks emission, which may hint that we are witnessing the formation of an LBV nebula.

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint Supernovae (SNe) 2002kg and 2003gm, and their precursors, in NGC 2403 and NGC 5334 respectively, are presented. The properties of these SNe are discussed in the context of previously proposed sc
enarios for faint SNe: low mass progenitors producing under-energetic SNe; SNe with ejecta constrained by a circumstellar medium; and outbursts of massive Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs). The last scenario has been referred to as ``Type V SNe, ``SN impostors or ``fake SNe. The faint SN 2002kg reached a maximum brightness of $mathrm{M_{V}=-9.6}$, much fainter than normal type II SNe. The precursor of SN 2002kg is confirmed to be, as shown in previous work, the LBV NGC2403-V37. Strong $mathrm{Fe II}$ lines are observed in the spectra of SN 2002kg, similar to both the LBV NGC2363-V1 and the type IIn SN 1995G. The spectrum of SN 2002kg does show strong resolved $mathrm{[N II]}$ at $lambdalambda$6549,6583ang. The identified progenitor of SN 2003gm is a bright yellow star, consistent with a F5-G2 supergiant. SN 2003gm, at the epoch of discovery, was of similar brightness to the possible fake SN 1997bs. Photometrically SN 2003gm shows the same decrease in brightness, over the same time period as SN 1997bs. The early time spectra of SN 2003gm are dominated by Balmer emission lines, which at the observed resolution, appear similar to SN 2000ch. On the basis of the post-discovery photometric and spectroscopic observations presented here we suggest that SN 2003gm is a similar event to SN 1997bs. The presence of strong $mathrm{[N II]}$ lines, near $mathrm{Halpha}$, is suggested as a possible means of identifying objects such as SN 2002kg/NGC2403-V37 as being LBVs - although not as a general classification criterion of all LBVs masquerading as SNe (abridged).
We present new spectral and photometric data of confirmed LBV star from the NGC4736 galaxy. The star NGC4736_1 (Mbol = -11.5 mag) showed noticeable spectral variability from 2015 to 2018, which was accompanied by a significant change in the brightnes
s. We also have estimated possible initial mass of the object NGC4736_1 as ~130 Msun.
We report the direct abundances for the galaxy NGC 2403 as observed by the CHemical Abundances Of Spirals (CHAOS) project. Using the Multi-Object Double Spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope, we observe two fields with H II regions that cover
an R$_g$/R$_e$ range of 0.18 to 2.31. 32 H II regions contain at least one auroral line detection, and we detect a total of 122 temperature-sensitive auroral lines. Here, for the first time, we use the intrinsic scatter in the T$_e$-T$_e$ diagrams, added in quadrature to the uncertainty on the measured temperature, to determine the uncertainty on an electron temperature inferred for one ionization zone from a measurement in a different ionization zone. We then use all available temperature data within an H II region to obtain a weighted average temperature within each ionization zone. We re-derive the oxygen abundances of all CHAOS galaxies using this new temperature prioritization method, and we find that the gradients are consistent with the results of Berg et al. (2020). For NGC 2403, we measure a direct oxygen abundance gradient of -0.09($pm$0.03) dex/Re, with an intrinsic dispersion of 0.037($pm$0.017) dex, and an N/O abundance gradient of -0.17($pm$0.03) dex/Re with an intrinsic dispersion of 0.060($pm$0.018) dex. For direct comparison, we use the line intensities from the study of NGC 2403 by Berg et al. (2013), and find their recomputed values for the O/H and N/O gradients are consistent with ours.
We have examined resolved stellar photometry from HST imaging surrounding 18 high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in NGC 300 and NGC 2403 as determined from combined Chandra/HST analysis. We have fit the color-magnitude distribution of the surrou
nding stars with stellar evolution models. All but one region in NGC 300 and two in NGC 2403 contain a population with an age between 20 and 70 Myr. One of the candidates is the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in NGC 2403, which we associate with a 60 Myr old population. These age distributions provide additional evidence that 16 of these 18 candidates are HMXBs. Furthermore, our results suggest that the most common HMXB age in these galaxies is 40-55 Myr. This preferred age is similar to observations of HMXBs in the Small Magellanic Cloud, providing new evidence of this formation timescale, but in higher metallicity populations. We suggest that this preferred HMXB age is the result of the fortuitous combination of two physical effects. First, this is the age of a population when the greatest rate of core-collapse events should be occurring, maximizing neutron star production. Second, this is the age when B stars are most likely to be actively losing mass. We also discuss our results in the context of HMXB feedback in galaxies, confirming HMXBs as a potentially important source of energy for the interstellar medium in low-mass galaxies.
We present the results of spectroscopy and multi-wavelength photometry of luminous and variable star candidates in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 2403 and M81. We discuss specific classes of stars, the Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), B[e] supergiants
(sgB[e]), and the high luminosity yellow hypergiants. We identify two new LBV candidates, and three sgB[e] stars in M81. We also find that some stars previously considered LBV candidates are actually field stars. The confirmed and candidate LBVs and sgB[e] stars together with the other confirmed members are shown on the HR Diagrams for their respective galaxies. We also present the HR Diagrams for the two SN impostors, V37 (SN2002kg) and V12(SN1954J) in NGC 2403 and the stars in their immediate environments.
