The spectrum of Hen 3-519 contains both absorption and emission lines, intermediate between a hot supergiant and a Wolf-Rayet. On this basis it has been classified as Ofpe/WN9, a slash star. The same type of spectrum is also known as WN11, an extension of the traditional nitrogen sequence to cooler temperatures. It is a hydrogen-rich star, a young object rather than a highly evolved dying star.
Hen 3-519 has been considered as a possible LBV almost since the term was first coined, although it has never shown the characteristic LBV variability. Its properties place it at the limit of temperature and luminosity for such stars, although comparable to the confirmed LBV AG Carinae.
