Abstract
The massive close binary, V382 Cyg, was observed with the low-dispersion spectrograph on the IUE satellite. The dereddened spectrum can be reasonably represented by a 40,000-K model atmosphere. The spectra show interstellar, photospheric, and shell absorption blends and one shell emission feature. From one of the shell absorptions, it is possible to calculate a limiting systemic mass loss rate of about 0.00004 solar mass/yr.
