Abstract
Abstract Images recorded with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South are combined with archival images from other facilities to search for variable stars in the southern half of the nearby disk galaxy NGC 247. Fifteen new periodic and nonperiodic variables are identified. These include three Cepheids with periods <25 days, four semiregular variables, one of which shows light variations similar to those of R CrB stars, five variables with intrinsic visible/red brightnesses and colors that are similar to those of luminous blue variables (LBVs), and three fainter blue variables, one of which may be a noneclipsing close binary system. The S Doradus instability strip defines the upper envelope of a distinct sequence of objects on the (i, g−i) color–magnitude diagram (CMD) of NGC 247. The frequency of variability of an amplitude ≥0.1 magnitude in the part of the CMD that contains LBVs over the seven-month period when the GMOS images were recorded is ∼0.2. The light curve of the B[e] supergiant J004702.18–204739.9, which is among the brightest stars in NGC 247, is also examined. Low-amplitude variations on day-to-day timescales are found, coupled with a systematic trend in mean brightness over a six-month time interval.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
