Abstract

EG And is a S-type symbiotic star. Presented are UV observations made by IUE from 1978 to 1991. From these observations the electron density and the electron temperature were obtained. The size of the HeII emitting region was estimated as 7.3R. Line and continuum variations confirm the binary nature of EG And.
