\textbf{Abstract.} Fast spectral variations of $\gamma\,$Cas type stars $\pi\,$Aqr (a $\gamma\,$Cas analogue star) are analysed.
Regular line profile variations (LPVs) at the short-time scale with periods from 4 to 136 minutes are detected.

\section*{Introduction}
The $\gamma\,$Cas type stars is a special subclass of Be stars [1]. These stars possess by the hard and strong thermal X-ray emission [1, 2] with high plasma temperature up to 20-30 keV.
Their X-ray luminosities $L_\mathrm{X}>10^{31}$\,erg\,cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and are intermediate between those of normal massive stars and those of X-ray binaries and
are characterized by short- and long-term variations in the [2--10]\,keV energy range [2].
The origin of these peculiar X-ray emission remains badly known with two leading scenarios: accretion on to a compact object [3] or star-disc interactions [1].
To shed light on the nature of these enigmatic objects, we started a program of searching for their fast spectral variations [4, 5].
In the present paper our recent observations of the B1III-IVe $\gamma\,$Cas type stars $\pi\,$Aqr made at the 1.25-m telescope in the Crimean station of
Sternberg Astronomical Institute by Moscow State University are analysed.
%===============================================================================================2.
\section*{Observations and data reduction}
The Be star $\pi\,$Aqr (HD\,212571) is the fast rotating ($V\sin i=215\pm 4$\,km\,s$^{-1}$) massive ($M=10.7\pm0.7M_{\odot}$) binary stellar system [6, 7].
The orbital period of the binary system is 84.1 days and the mass of the component ($2-3\,M_{\odot}$) corresponds to the main sequence A-F stars~[8].
Our observations of $\pi\,$Aqr were made with the 1.25-m telescope on the night of October 10/11, 2021. All spectra were obtained with an exposure time 5\,s and time resolution 8\,s
including SSD reading-out time. Totally 1250 spectra in the range $\lambda\lambda\,4420-6860\,$\AA\ with a spectral resolution $\sim\,$1000 are obtained.
The full duration of observation is $\sim\!$165~min.
The data reduction was made using the code CCDops\footnote{http://company7.com/library/sbig/sbwhtmls/ccdopsv5.html}. %
One-dimensional spectra were obtained by summing the counts within a 40-pixel ($79''$) aperture, at a mean FWHM of 26 pixels, with the subtraction of the sky
background from a region of 60--120 pixels from the centre of the stellar spectrum. The wavelength calibration was made with a Ne-Ar lamp.
The spectra are normalized to the continuum. The normalization procedure is described by Kholtygin et al.~[9]. The normalized spectra averaged
over all 1250 spectra is given Fig.~\ref{Fig.MeanSpGamCas}.

\section*{Fast LPVs}
Analysing the difference profiles we will use the Doppler shifts $V$ from the laboratory wavelength $\lambda_0$ of the line instead of the wavelength $\lambda$, where
%
$$
V=c\cdot \left( \frac{\lambda-\lambda_0}{\lambda_0}\right),
$$
%
and $c$ is the speed of light. The difference line profile
%
\begin{equation}
\label{Eq.DiffProf}
d(V,t)=F(V,t) - \overline{F}(V) .
\end{equation}
%
where $N$ is the total number of the analysed spectra, $F(V,t)$ is the continuum normalized line flux for the spectrum obtained at time $t$, and $\overline{F}(V)$
is the mean normalized line flux at the velocity $V$. Dynamical spectra $d(V,t)$ for H and HeI lines are given in Fig.~\ref{Fig.DynSpectra}.
One can see the similarity of LPVs for H$_\beta$, HeI\,5107, and H$_\alpha$ lines. Fast variations at the minute time scale may be seen.

\section*{Regular components of LPVs}
For looking for the periodic components of the line profile variations in the spectrum of $\pi\,$Aqr the CLEAN method of Fourier analysis~[10] for difference profiles $d(V,t)$ of HeI and
H~lines are used. The errors of the regular component frequency and the errors of the corresponding periods in the Fourier spectrum are calculated using the expression
$\Delta\nu \le 1/T$~[11], where $T= 165.4\,$minutes is the total duration of observations.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%==Table.01
The detected periods together with their errors are given in Table~1. Given short-time LPVs are firstly detected in spectra of $\pi\,$Aqr was not known before but they
are similar to those calculated by us for $\gamma\,$Cas~[4].
The period $P_9=115.39\pm80.52$ of LPVs is close to period $P_\mathrm{opt}=113\,$min detected from an analysis of spectral observations and
to period $P_\mathrm{phot}=122\,$min from the photometric observations of $\pi\,$Aqr~[2].
The similar short time scale periods we detected in the X-ray light curve of the $\gamma\,$Cas type star HD\,110432 and in the optical
spectra of the $\gamma\,$Cas type star HD\,45995 from 30 to 150 min~[12]. Resuming we can conclude that the minute time scale optical and photometric variations can be
typical for the $\gamma\,$Cas type stars.
