High dispersion spectra in the blue violet region and OAO II spectral scans in the UV of the star a Centauri are presented. The variation of equivalent widths and radial velocity are presented. The appearance and disappearance of the forbidden lines of helium, the change in the wing structure of λ 4471 of He I, the strengthening of the UV resonance lines at phase 0.5 and the presence of the UV feature of λ 1720 indicate that the star’s atmosphere is experiencing drastic density changes.
