Abstract
Propagation of discrete absorption components along the broad wind profiles of H and Fe II has been observed for the first time for a white hypergiant (6 Cas A2.5 Ia-0). CCD-echelle spectrometers of 6-m and 1-m telescopes of SAO RAS were used. The motion of the discrete components was traced for a period of 200 days in the 50 to 180 km s−1 interval of expansion velocity. The observed phenomenon is similar to that described for P Cygni. Corraboration of pulsations of 6 Cas has been obtained.
