Effective temperature T eff were determined using spectroscopic criteria (Kovtuykh, 2007, MNRAS 378, 617) by the method based on the depth ratios of selected pairs of spectral lines most sensitives to the temperatuures.

Spectral lines used in analysis 1) Symmetric lines ( in most cases - single moderate intensity lines of metals). 2) Short-wave components of splitted low- excited absorptions. 3) Long-wave components of splitted low- excited absorptions. 4) Neutral hydrogen lines (alpha & beta).

Conclusions 1) During 2007-2011 T eff demostrated changes within 5777-6744 K. 2) The field of velocities has been analysed using the most number of single lines (some hundred ones in each spectrum) and splitted lines (about 12 ones on visual range). 3) The field of velocities has changed from date to date. In the single moments we can observe the radial velocity dependence from the residual line depth, i.e. the existence of velocity gradient in stelllar atmosphere.
36
Conclusions 4)In the long-wave components of splitted absorptional -forming region the velocity gradient take place too. At that its value has exceeded 15 km/s for single moments and the speed depended from line depth is the continuation of such dependence for single lines. 5) In the single date we can see the same gradient from short-wave components, but it is marked less and its value is no more 6 km/s.
37
Conclusions 6 ) Long-wave components of splitting absorptions are the usual photospherical ones, their forming region and velocity do not differ from the same for single absorptions. Short-wave components have formed in the circumstellar shell.
38
Conclusions 7) According to carbon, sodium and magnesium content, Rho Cas has gone through dredge-up in the red supergiant stage and is presently evolving blueward. Our [Na/H] = +0.44 dex agrees excellent with theoretical value +0.47 dex for star with mass about 26-30 M sun from Takeda & Takada-Hidai (1994)
