| contents | We studied rotational modulation of the radial velocities of narrow emission lines in four classical T Tauri stars. We found that the previously declared shift of the mean velocity of neutral and ionized helium lines relative to the mean radial velocity of the star is not associated with the inflow of accreted gas into the hotspot, since the radial velocity curves for lines with different velocity shifts should exhibit phase shifts relative to each other, while the observed phase shifts are absent within their uncertainties and do not correspond to the observed line velocity shifts. This means that the line shifts are not caused by the actual gas motion. For neutral helium lines, the shifts can be explained by the large optical thickness of the lines and the Stark effect at plasma parameters expected at the base of the accretion column of T Tauri stars. |
