Scientific paper
We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations of this peculiar Be star: respectively 516 Delta V values in 16 nights and 50 spectrograms in 4 nights in the H alpha region. A feature of the HeI lambda6678 line profile seems to indicate the presence of a double-lined binary spectrum. Nevertheless, an analysis of our and other available data (former published and unpublished photometry) leads us to rule out the current interpretations of the double-wave light curve shown by this star: 14 Lac can neither be identified as an ellipsoidal variable nor as an eclipsing binary. Its variability is likely to be produced in the circumstellar region by a shell distortion due to the presence of the companion star, even if there is not enough evidence to exclude other hypotheses. The implications both of the duplicity assumption and of its possible refutation are discussed. This work was partially supported by CNR and CONACYT in the ambit of their convention about scientific and technological collaboration.
