The eclipsing binary U Cephei has proven to be of great interest in the study of stellar evolution in close binary systems. Batten (1974), Hall and Walter (1974), Rhombs and Fix (1976), Markworth (1977), and Olson (1978), among others, have recently reported on their intensive ground based studies of U Cephei. Kondo, McCluskey and Wu (1978) have investigated the ultraviolet light curves of U Cephei obtained with Astronomical Netherlands Satellite (ANS). Kondo, McCluskey and Stencel (1979) have discussed the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectra of U Cephei. This paper discusses results incorporating additional IUE high resolution spectra of U Cephei obtained in both far-ultraviolet and mid-ultraviolet spectral regions.

For the past year a Joint Working Group of NASA and ESA scientists and engineers has been defining the scientific objectives and instrument parameters for a proposed satellite to obtain far and extreme ultraviolet spectra of stars, interstellar gas, solar system objects, and galaxies. The project, now called Columbus, incorporates the scientific goals of the previously proposed NASA Far Ultraviolet Spectrograph Explorer (FUSE) and ESA Magellan missions.The prime spectral range of Columbus, 900–1200 Å, cannot be observed by IUE or Space Telescope. In this spectral range Copernicus was able to observe bright stars (mv ≤ 6) with high resolution and the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) will observe faint sources at low resolution, but Columbus will be the first instrument capable of high spectral resolution observations of faint sources (mv ≈ 17). High resolution spectra in the 900–1200 Å region will permit studies of the Lyman lines of atomic H and D, the molecules H2 and HD, resonance lines of C III and O VI, and other species listed in Table 1. Columbus also is being designed to observe the 1200–2000 Å spectral region at high resolution, permitting measurements of many stages of ionization for the same atom (i.e. N I, II, III, V; C II, III, IV; and S II, III, IV, VI). The broad coverage of ionization states is essential for the analysis of interstellar and stellar plasmas where the ionization balance can be quite complex.

Abstract Comparison of optical high resolution high signal-to-noise ELODIE spectra of 21 Com taken in 2004 April and separated by about half of the 2 days rotational period, reveals variations of the oxygen, calcium and strontium lines between rotational phases 0.94 and 0.48. Whereas the lines of oxygen and calcium are stronger at phase 0.94, those of strontium strengthen at phase 0.48. The synthesis of strong Sr ii lines yields disk-averaged estimates of the abundances of strontium: about 200 times solar at phase 0.94 and 450 solar at phase 0.48 for strontium. However the O i and Ca ii lines are too blended to derive unambiguous quantitative information on the abundance and distribution of oxygen and calcium over the surface of 21 Com. The likely underabundance of oxygen might be quantified using stronger far-ultraviolet transitions.
