Scientific paper

A new radial velocity curve for Delta Cep is presented based on 10 A/mm red spectrograms. The curves for neutral metallic lines, low excitation ions, and high excitation Si II lines follow the curve of Shane (1958) within observational uncertainties. For H-alpha the curve shows an amplitude 15 km/s larger than for the metallic lines. Arguments are presented to show that the H-alpha absorption is formed high in the atmosphere of Delta Cep.
