[en] We present an analysis of ongoing optical spectroscopic monitoring of the Yellow Hypergiant Rho Cas between 2014 and 2024, with an observation cadence of 7 days since 2018. We discuss the temporal line profile variability observed in Balmer Halpha and the variability of the stellar wind in selected photospheric absorption lines of Fe I and Si II. We combine accurate measurements of various line parameters with multi-band photometric observations during this period and present an analysis of the pulsation periods in this notorious hypergiant star.
