Abstract

Using archival IUE data we give the results of an analysis of the profile of the Mg II k and h lines for HD46300, an AO1b-supergiant. Evidence of mass loss by the star was detected; its most probable nature is the ejection of matter in a cloud. Estimates are made for certain parameters of this cloud.
