Abstract
We present a study of the high-resolution (R = 60 000) optical spectrum of the B[e] supergiant CI Cam obtained 4 years after its all-wavelength outburst. The profiles of most of the emission lines show a triple-peaked structure, an effect previously not observed. The Na i D-lines clearly have 2 interstellar absorption components, suggesting that the system is most probably located within the Perseus arm at a distance of <3 kpc. Uncertainties of the distance toward the object, its luminosity, and physical parameters of the circumstellar disk are discussed. Simple observational tests are suggested to clarify these issues.
