IUE observations of hot stars: HZ43, BD + 75°325, NGC6826, SS Cygni, η Carinae

Abstract

During the commissioning phase of IUE observations were made of a selection of hot stars: the white dwarf HZ43, the hot subdwarf BD + 75°325, the nucleus of the planetary nebula NGC6826, the dwarf nova SS Cygni, and the peculiar object η Carinae. The observations were made in the low dispersion mode and the data have been reduced using a preliminary calibration. The results are presented and discussed for each object.
