Abstract

Strong ultraviolet absorption features have been observed in a short wavelength IUE spectrum of the weak carbon white dwarf L1363-3. The spectrum is quite similar to those obtained for the weak C2 white dwarf L145-141 and the DC white dwarf G33-49 and shows strong absorption at 1920 A and between 1520 A and 1680A. Identification with carbon absorption features is discussed.
