Description:
    We present a study of low- and high-resolution ultraviolet,
    high-resolution optical CAT/CES spectra and ultraviolet, optical and
    infrared photometry of the peculiar supergiant HD 101584. From the
    photometry we learn that the ultraviolet and optical energy
    distribution cannot be fitted in a consistent way and we need
    a model in which the UV and optical energy distribution are formed by
    different gas. The Geneva photometry is best fitted to a B9II Kurucz
    model, T_eff_=12000+/-1000K and logg=3.0+/-1.0, with an extinction of
    E(B-V)=0.49+/-0.05. The observed spectral features in the spectrum of
    HD 101584 are classified in eight different categories based on the
    velocity, shape of profile and the identification. The
    high-excitation HeI ({chi}=20.87eV), NII ({chi}=18.40eV),
    CII ({chi}=14.39eV) and NI ({chi}=10.29eV) optical absorption lines are
    formed in the photosphere of a late B-star (e.g. B8-9I-II). These
    absorption lines show radial velocity variations which are attributed
    to binary motion, with the secondary being a white dwarf or a
    low-mass main sequence object. The low-excitation P-Cygni lines in the
    optical and UV are formed in the wind. The number density of
    absorption lines in the UV is so large that the wind spectrum acts as
    an iron curtain in front of the B-star. The terminal velocity of the
    wind of v_{infinity}_=100+/-30km/s is consistent with the star being
    a low-mass post-AGB star and the low effective gravity is attributed
    to the presence of a nearby, unseen, secondary. We estimate a mass-loss
    rate of M{dot}=~10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr. Narrow absorption and emission
    lines are observed which are formed in a circumsystem disk with a
    typical radius of 10^2^R_*_.
