Gamma Cassiopeiae - Spectroscopic variations and its association with the variable X-ray source MX0053 + 60

Abstract
Qualitative changes in the spectral appearance of Gamma Cas since 1941 are presented. Velocity variations are searched for to aid in the interpretation of the recently discovered X-ray flux. No evidence is found for velocity variations exceeding 20 km/s, and no periodicities in the range from 2.5 to 4000 days are detected. It is concluded that Gamma Cas is probably a single star, although the possible existence of a low-mass companion cannot be ruled out.
