R CrB at minimum light shows three type of spectra: 1) an absorption line spectrum similar to that observed at maximum light; 2) a sharp emission line spectrum mainly due to singly ionised metals which is displaced to the blue by 3 to 10 kms-1 with reference to the absorption spectrum observed at maximum. This is supposed to be a kind of permanent feature which exists even at the time of light maximum; 3) a broad emission line spectrum consisting of mainly λ3889 of Hel, H and K lines of Call and the D lines of Nal. The widths of the broad emission features indicate expansion velocity of 200 kms-1, much greater than the escape velocity (Gaposchkin 1963, Rao 1975).

Abstract:During light minimum phase, R CrB shows a broad emission line spectrum of He I including λ10830, λ7065, λ7281, λ3889, λ6678 and λ3188. But λ5876 is very weak. The observed intensity ratios of I(λ3889)/I(λ5876) and I(λ7065)/I(λ5876) were greater than 1. The anomalous intensities of these lines appear to be due to optical depth efects. Peliminary analysis is presented to derive the physical conditions of the emitting gas.
