Scientific paper

Recombination lines of O VII, O VIII, and C V have been identified in the optical spectrum of an O VI Wolf-Rayet star, representing the first non-X-ray detection of these ions in astronomical spectra and implying excitation energies in excess of 800 eV. Rapid variations on a time scale of about 150 s have been observed in the profile of one of the O VII lines.
