Abstract

In this review we present the ISO imaging of nebulae around Luminous Blue Variables. Three LBVs have been imaged with ISO: HR Car, AG Car and the LBV candidate G79.29+0.46. The ISOCAM instrument did not resolve the nebula around HR Car. However some nebular emission lines are seen in the spectral energy distribution of this source. A proper deconvolution of the images may resolve the nebula. For AG Car and G79.29+0.46 the nebula is clearly resolved. The structure and intensity distribution of the nebular emission is dependent on the wavelength, indicating a separation between the ionised matter and the dust in the nebulae. Some model calculations are presented for the G79.29+0.46 nebula.

Based on observations with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). ISO is an ESA project with instruments funded by the ESA member states (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA
