    PR # 32082                                                                   
     Gamma Cas was the first Be star to be discovered and has been               
     extensively studied in the optical for over 100 years.  It is also a        
     well-known X-ray source and is thought to contain a compact object -        
     based mainly on its similarity to X Per.  However, unlike other             
     members of the Be/neutron star class a strong iron line has been            
     detected in the X-ray spectrum of Gamma Cas. Here we propose to study       
     this line in detail utilizing the excellent spectral resolution of          
     the SIS detectors.
