Abstract

Selected regions of IUE spectra of the binaries HD 47129 and AO Cassiopeiae are analyzed, and evidence for the effect of wind collision in both objects is found. A possible alternative explanation for the behavior of the spectral lines of the 'secondary' component in HD 47129 is suggested.
