Far-ultraviolet energy distributions of the metal-poor A stars HD 109995 and HD 161817.
Boehm-Vitense, E.
Low-resolution IUE spectra at wavelengths between 1300 and 3400 A of the metal-poor stars HD 109995 (A1p) and HD 161817 (A4p) have been compared with model-atmosphere energy distributions computed by Kurucz (1979). Good overall agreement is found. Effective temperatures, metal abundances, and angular diameters could be determined. Assuming an abso…
The spectra of two new intermediate helium stars.
Drilling, J. S.
The stars designated as LSS 2394 and LS II + 36 deg 37 in the Case-Hamburg Luminous Stars surveys are found to be intermediate helium stars. The environment and spectrum of LSS 2394 (CPD -62 2124) appear to be quite similar to those of Sigma Ori E in a number of respects, including close proximity to two other OB stars, membership in a rich O asso…
IUE high-dispersion spectrum of R Aqr.
Johnson, H. M.
Emission-line spectra of several ions were observed in R Aqr in the wavelength range 1900-3000 A. C II diagnostics gives an electron density of about 400,000/cu cm and an electron temperature of about 10,000 K. The Mg II doublet profiles are grossly asymmetric, of a P Cygni type with terminal ejection velocity of at least 200 km/s. This is like Mg…
