Abstract:

We analyse CCD spectroscopic material obtained at the Haute Provence Observatory between 1990 and 1993, covering the wavelength region 3800-11000 Å. 320 emission lines were measured and identified. Of these about 40% correspond to permitted or forbidden lines of ionized iron. Many forbidden lines (20% of the total) are present, including many classic nebular lines. We also provide a comparison of our results with those of other authors. The equivalent width measurements permit to follow in detail the variations of the lines of several elements over the three years and to compare them to variations reported by other authors. On our material the largest variations correspond to helium, which varied by a factor of two and are not in phase with the variations of hydrogen. Many helium lines exhibit P Cyg type profiles, indicating strong outflow of matter from the star. The lines of other elements follow either the variations of the helium or of the hydrogen lines. The radial velocity varies over the years, with an amplitude of more than 60 km/s.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
