Abstract

Spectroscopic observations through most of the eclipse cycle of BT Mon reveal the presence of both low and high velocity gas streams. Acceleration through a Laval-nozzle-effect at the inner Lagrangian point of the system and powering of the emission lines through kinetic energy losses of Coriolis deflected and subsequently colliding gas strems are considered as possible mechanisms at work in the system.
