Abstract:
The continuum energy distribution of the emission line star X Per (o9.5III-V) has been obtained in the wavelength range 340-710 nm and has been compared with the energy distribution of α Cam in the same wavelength range. The continuum of the star is found to be modified by the circumstellar envelop. A number density of the order of 10¹¹ in the envelop has been obtained from the observations of Hα in emission.
