Descripción
The study of iron lines from 49 high-resolution IUE spectra observed in
the period of 1985-1991 allowed us to find a repetition time between two
successive shells of the order of six months. We found that absorption
lines of Fe III often have two components while Fe II lines can have
three. P Cygni is the only luminous blue variable that does not show
photometric variability on the scale of 1-2 mag and the only one whose
shell phenomena have been followed for some considerable time. The
disappearance of shell components observed in Si, O and N lines is
possibly a new unique phenomenon.
