Paper: The Spectrum of the X-Ray Transient CI Cam
Volume: 157, Annapolis Workshop on Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables

Abstract: CI Cam has a pure emission-line spectrum at optical wavelengths. The permitted metal lines and the forbidden lines of N, O and Fe II arise in two kinematically distinct shells around CI Cam. The broad, asymmetric emission lines of H and He II probably arise in a strong wind.
