Abstract

The IUE satellite observatory has been used to obtain absolutely-calibrated emission line fluxes for diagnostic lines of multiply-ionized C, N, O, Si, Ne, and Ar which occur in the ultraviolet spectral region of planetary nebulae. These data, when combined with data from the blue, visual, and near infrared, will provide improved estimates of ionic concentrations, plasma temperatures and densities, and elemental abundances.
