Scientific paper

H alpha spectroscopic observations have been made by using a high-dispersion and high-resolution thick CCD system, when the orbital phase of epsilon Aur was near 0.3. During two years of out-of-eclipse observations, the H alpha profile varied significantly. The circumstellar gas circling the F0 superginat is possibly a ring-like H II structure, which consists of moving gaseous clouds. H alpha profile variation outside eclipse may be due to the apparent motion of gaseous clouds within the ring following the rotation of the primary, and to its intrinsic physical changes.
