Radial velocities along the light curve of the peculiar emission-line star GG Carinae

Measurements of the radial velocities of several emission and absorption lines in a large series of high dispersion spectra of the peculiar emission-line object GG Carinae are combined with the photometric data described by Gosset et al. (1984) in an attempt to derive constraints on a qualitative physical model of this peculiar, and most probably binary, object. Previously unreported spectral features are the double absorption components of the Balmer lines and the He I absorption lines appearing around phase phi = 0.45 of the 31.02 day period deduced from the radial velocity curve.
