Abstract

IUE spectra of five DB white dwarfs are presented and discussed. The effective temperatures deduced from the UV continua are in good agreement with recent determinations using line data in the optical region. In contrast to the situation with the λ4670 stars, there is no evidence for absorption by atomic carbon lines in the UV.
