Abstract : This study is aimed at studying photometric and spectroscopic characteristics of an HS-Variable which a Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) star in M31. In this work, we analyzed the trend of the observed LBV and confirmed its characteristics. We analyzed the properties exhibited by the LBVs and found the resemblance to this observed variable star. We confirmed that this star exhibits the LBV nature as it has been in the past using photometric and spectroscopic studies. The photometric data for the study has been obtained using 1.04m Telescope at Manora Peak, Nainital and spectroscopic data has been obtained using 2m HCT, Hanle.
