abstract
B[e] type stars are characterised by strong emission lines, photometric $\&$ spectroscopic variabilities and unsteady mass-loss rates. MWC 137 is a galactic B[e] type star situated in the constellation Orion. Recent photometric observation of MWC 137 by TESS has revealed variabilities with a dominant period of 1.9 d. The origin of this variability is not known but suspected to be from stellar pulsation. To understand the nature and origin of this variability, we have constructed three different set of models of MWC 137 and performed non-adiabatic linear stability analysis. Several low order modes are found to be unstable in which models having mass in the range of 31 to 34 M$_{\odot}$ and 43 to 46 M$_{\odot}$ have period close to 1.9 d. The evolution of instabilities in the non-linear regime for model having solar chemical composition and mass of 45 M$_{\odot}$ leads to finite amplitude pulsation with a period of 1.9 d. Therefore in the present study we confirm that this variability in MWC 137 is due to pulsation. Evolutionary tracks passing through the location of MWC 137 in the HR diagram indicate that the star is either in post main sequence evolutionary phase or about to enter in this evolutionary phase.

Characterization of the variability of the blue supergiant HD 14134
HD 14134 is a post-main-sequence blue supergiant with a 19.2-day g-mode pulsation and wind variability that may dominate its TESS brightness changes, questioning its alpha Cyg variable classification.
