Ha spectrum of Gamma Cassiopeiae - Tsih - HD 5394 - SAO 11482 [B0IVe] - 2020-03-19 - He 6678

Specs



Tsih is a typical Be star, that means there is a disk of gas around the star. The emission lines are caused by this disk.
The star rotates very fast (~ 300km/s). This could be one reason for this disk.
