  36. Circumstellar envelopes around the Cepheids • 1) Cepheids with periods more than 10-15 days: absorptional lines of metals demonstrate the usual character, therefore Hα line undergoes the complicated changes (see X Cyg (Gillet, 1993)); • 2) The main reason of this effect is the presence of circumstellar envelope around the Cepheid atmosphere (see Nardetto et al. 2008); • 3) The observations of RS Pup and l Car confirmthis hypothesis ( see Krevella et al. 2009)

  37. Circumstellar envelopes around the Cepheids • 4) The main problem: this envelope should be «optically thick» in Hα line core, but to be «clear» for the absorptional lines of metals. • 5) In this case the Hα line represents the radial velocity of this envelope, therefore the lines of metals represent the Doppler velocities of pulsating layers.

  38. The Cases of X Sgr and BG Cru • 1) This pecuilar character of metals absorptional lines and absence of these onesfor hydrogen lines should be explained by the presence of multiple shock waves combined with non-radial pulsations, • producing the extensive hydrogen shell around the Cepheid. • 2) This shell promoted itself to form these shock waves in the Cepheids atmospheres

  39. The Cases of X Sgr and BG Cru • 3) The presence of close hot companion could be promote to non-radial pulsations in the high levels of Cepheids atmospheres. X Sgr has a companion with an orbital period 509.25 days (Szabados 1989), thereas BG Cru is a spectroscopical binary too.

  40. The Case of W Sgr • 1) Emission features in the core of hydrogen lines are not typical for Population I Cepheids, but they are present in the W Vir type variables (Population II). These emission features are an evidence of so called «highlighting» behind the front of shock wave after its passing.
