Scientific paper

Radial velocities and line-intensity measurements of AM Her during its bright state are presented. An intercomparison of all the recent spectroscopic data yields an improved orbital period of 0.128926 plus or minus 0.000009 day, in excellent agreement with polarimetric and photometric values. It is found that at least two principal regions of line formation can be identified. One of these is occulted during the deep V-light minimum, lending further support to the suggestion that the cool companion is at inferior conjunction at that phase.
