Abstract

An Atlas is presented of the high-resolution spectrum of the VV Cep M1-2Iab + Be variable KQ Pup (Boss 1985). The Atlas is based on UV observations obtained in 1979 with the IUE (covering the region from 1223 A to 3228 A) and on coude plates covering the blue to the optical UV. The equivalent widths and radial velocities of the main features present in the optical spectra are given. Additional CAT/CES observations of H-alpha are shown. The Atlas should be a basis for future investigation on luminous cool variables.
