Conclusions
Our analysis has shown that the envelope is not an unchanging, permanent structure; instead it varies noticeably within a time of the order of a day. The surface layers of the B star adjacent to the inner layers of the envelope also do not remain stationary. The observed variation in the radial velocities suggests that they have a pulsating behavior. The quasiqeriodic brightness variation reported by Walker [3] can be explained if the amplitude and duration of the pulsations are not strictly periodic.
