Description:
    We analyse spectroscopic CCD material obtained at the Haute Provence
    Observatory. We provide identifications and equivalent width
    measurements in the wavelength region 3740-8790. About 350 emissions
    lines were measured and about 88 of them were identified. A comparison
    of our results with those of other authors is provided, as well as a
    table of elements identified in the spectrum of this star.
    The pattern of elements present is analogous to that of a late B-type
    star, but some exceptions are noted, such as the absence of Ne and Mg
    lines and the presence of K, Cu and Zr lines which appear usually in
    later type stars. We review the little which is known concerning this
    object and we also present a quantitative account of the variations in
    equivalent widths. The observations indicate that the spectrum is
    highly variable, so that in two different years only half of the lines
    appear on both spectra. Furthermore variations by at least a factor of
    two in the equivalent widths are present in many lines. The radial
    velocity derived from the emission lines (-76km/s) corresponds to that
    of the shell which probably has a velocity of about 50km/s with
    respect to the underlying star.
