Аннотация:We present the results of our photoelectric observations of HD 51585 ( OY Gem), a B[ e] star with an infrared excess and a candidate for protoplanetary nebulae, obtained with a 60-cm telescope at the Crimean Station of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute in 1992 - 2005. The star exhibited rapid irregular brightness variations with amplitudes from 0(.)(m)1 in the V band to 0(.)(m)2 in the U band within the observing season as well as slow systematic variations with amplitudes from 0(.)(m)3 in the V band to 0(.)(m)65 in the U band and with a quasi-period of similar to 2800 days. The B - V color index varied within 0(.)(m)1 and did not follow the slow systematic brightness variations, while U-B correlated with the U brightness and varied between -0(.)(m)7 at minimum light. Our low-resolution spectroscopy performed in 1994-2005 has revealed significant variability of the Balmer and Paschen hydrogen emission lines as well as the He I and O I lines. Equivalent widths are given for the H I, He I, O I, and Fe II lines; a correlation has been found between the star's photometric variability and the hydrogen line intensities. Our joint analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic data suggests that variations in a strong stellar wind are responsible for the variability of the star.
