Abstract

Results are reported for low-resolution UV spectroscopy (1150-1950 A and 1850-3250 A) of the star HD 26676, which may be associated with a weak nonthermal radio source, from the IUE satellite. It is found that the energy distribution of this star appears to be that of a perfectly normal single B8 V star. It is concluded that HD 26676 is an unlikely candidate for a source of radio emission at this time.
