Abstract
We summarize the results of long-term spectral monitoring of yellow hypergiants (YHGs) of northern hemisphere with a R60000 resolution. The spectra of these F-G stars of extremely high luminosity, compactly located at the top of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram revealed a variety of spectral features: various types of H profile, the presence (or absence) of forbidden and permitted emissions, as well as circumstellar components. Variability of spectral details of various nature is studied. Absolute luminosity, circumstellar envelope expansion rate and amplitude of pulsations are determined. The reliability of the YHG status for V1427 Aql is reliably confirmed; manifestations of a significant dynamic instability of the upper layers of the atmosphere of Cas after the 2017 ejection and stratification of its gas envelope are registered; the lack of companion in the system…
