Abstract

Preliminary results are presented for new optical spectroscopy of the Wolf-Rayet binary gamma2 Velorum. It is shown that variations observed in the C II (lambda)5696 A line are reminiscent of profile changes due to colliding-wind effects. Selective atmospheric eclipses are found to be inadequate to explain the observed variability.
