The fluxes and equivalent widths of the emission and absorption features, and the stellar continuum in line-free regions are presented. The profiles displayed by the most intense emission suggest line formation in an asymmetric envelope. Many of the observed features may be explained if Eta Car is an intermediate, possible binary, F-type hypergiant in a short living stage, which holds a massive wind heated by dissipation of mechanical energy.
