Abstract

A high resolution IUE spectrum of Mira taken at the time of the 1980 maximum shows sharp emission features from the M star and broad ones attributable to a large volume of gas around the hot companion. Some information on the emission from the vicinity of Mira B is available from line widths and ratios.
