New optical intermediate dispersion spectra of the periodic radio star LSI
+61 degrees 303 are presented. The H-alpha emission line shows a typical sh
ell absorption spectrum, which means that the primary of this Be/X ray bina
ry may be a nearly equator-on Be star. The H-alpha emission line profile an
d its variation are analyzed, and some parameters such as the H-alpha EW an
d V/R peak ratio change strongly near the radio maximum, and may exhibit pe
riodic variability. instead of having a wider minimum lasting for about hal
f an orbital cycle as radio flux and V magnitude do, the H-alpha EW shows a
deep minimum at phase similar to 0.75. The accretion disk around the neutr
on star formed near its periastron passage is suggested to be responsible f
or the change when it eclipses the primary and its envelope.
