Time variations of the 22-GHz water-vapor maser spectrum of the supergiant star S Per are presented for the period from September 1974 to March 1977, together with the light curve for the same period. Some infrared data for 1.2-10 microns are also given. Individual spectral components vary with different phases, and with phase delays between themselves and the optical emission of up to a few hundred days. It is difficult to account for these observations by a simple radiatively pumped maser model, and collisional processes are probably involved. The spectrum is consistent with models in which the H2O molecules are situated in an expanding and/or rotating circumstellar envelope.
