Scientific paper

The authors discuss optical spectra obtained over the decade 1977 to 1986 and find complex variations in radial velocity and in Fe I emission intensity. Power spectra of core velocities of high-excitation N I lines reveal two significant peaks, at 421 days and at 315 days. A bimodal radial pulsation for HR 8752 is inferred. Possible longer periods may involve other modes and/or an orbital period due to the hot companion of the supergiant. Short-term quasi-periodic variability in V and in (B-V) supports the pulsation scenario with its dominant time scale of 420 days. Various observables set the behavior of HR 8752 apart from that of ρ Cas. This may be due to evolutionary or environmental effects, or both.
