Scientific paper

New radial-velocity data for late supergiants with maser emission, long-period variable maser stars, and similar nonmaser stars are presented. For VY CMa, 20 years of data are made use of to show that a correlation exists between the measured radial velocity and the spectral resolution. The correlation may be explained by reflection of starlight from moving dust in agreement with the line-profile calculations of van Blerkom and van Blerkom (1978). For the long-period variables, radial velocities of the K I resonance lines on 4 A/mm spectrograms strengthen the correlation between the circumstellar absorption lines and the violet edge of the thermal microwave emission.
