Scientific paper

The Balmer progression in velocities seen in Pleione and other shell stars is investigated without undertaking the complicated calculations of non-LTE radiative transfer and hydrodynamics of the shells. The equations of the conservation of mass and momentum are simultaneously solved using assumptions which simplify the calculations of the solution. The radiation pressure due to the lines and continuum are examined. It is found qualitatively that the high excitation Balmer lines of hydrogen are formed in a region where the velocity gradients are high and therefore these lines show high radial velocities.
