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.

AbstractIn order to study the apparent near instability of supergiant atmospheres high-resolution (λ/Δ λ = 8×104) BUSS (Balloon-borne Ultraviolet Stellar Spectrometer) spectra of the supergiant Alpha Cyg have been investigated. Equivalent widths of lines yield the variation of the line-of-sight microturbulent velocity component ζµwith optical depth τ. We find at τ5= 0.1: ζµequal to the velocity of sound. The consequent turbulent acceleration is directed outward, it increases outward and is about half the effective acceleration at τ5= 0.01. The macroturbulent velocity profile is double peaked with up- and downward velocities of 14 km s−1. We suggest that these motions are stochastic pulsations of large elements. At any time there are 30 to 40 such elements on the visible disk.

AbstractThe high resolution ultraviolet spectra of the 4.4-day period binary R Arae, observed in 1980 with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), show that its continuum flux level varied outside of eclipse by more than a factor of two in ten days, and by over 50 percent within a same orbital cycle. The flux level varied non-monotonically at different wavelengths. The resonance lines of Mg II and Si IV exhibited shortward–shifted absorption components near phase 0.4, indicating the presence of a gas stream toward the observer at a velocity of some –450 to –500 km s–1. Our observations of R Arae with the Einstein satellite show it to be an X–ray source.

AbstractHigh-resolution (λ/δλ ⋍ 6 x 104) spectra of R136 (the central object of 30 Dor) and of 2 LMC supergiants obtained at ESO with the 1.4-m telescope have been analysed in order to study the high-velocity absorption components at VLSR ⋍ +60 km s-1 and ⋍ +130 km s-1 first seen in satellite ultraviolet spectra in the general direction of the LMC. Our data have been integrated with previous literature results of SN1987a and of other 4 LMC supergiants obtained from spectra of similar spectral resolution.At least 6 (possibly 9) interstellar components are found in the range +40 km s-1 ≤ VISR ≤ + 150 km s-1, suggesting that the IUE features at ⋍ +60 km s-1 and ⋍ +130 km s-1 are in fact splitted in several components when observed at higher resolution. Two components originally discovered toward SN1987a (VLSR ⋍ +42 km s-1 and +107 km s-1), are detected for the first time in the Call interstellar spectrum of R136. A component at VLSR ⋍ +49 km s-1 shows significant variations both in Call and in Nal along the different lines of sight. A relatively broad component at VLSR ⋍ +58 km s-1 is present in Call toward R136, but is generally undetected in Nal in the other lines of sight. Also the components in the range +100 km s-1 ≤ VLSR ≤ +150 km s-1 are detected in Call, but not in Nal. Two weak absorptions, detected at +125 km s-1 and +141 km s-1 toward R136, may be associated with the ⋍ +130 km s-1 component characteristic of the ultraviolet spectra.The almost perfect velocity coincidence of the +107 km s-1, +42 km s-1, +49 km s-1 and +57 km s-1 components along different lines of sight suggests a common origin of the absorbing gas and a location close to our Galaxy. In spite of the low detection limit in our spectra (Wλ ⋍ 5 mÅ), the lack of detection of Nal is compatible with the presence of foreground gas clouds with hydrogen column density N(HI) ≤ 2 x 1019 cm-2, or even greater. The fact that we can detect more easily Call absorptions than the corresponding Nal absorptions indicates a very low value of Call depletion.
