Interstellar Extinction ``Atlas of the Wavelength Dependence of Ultraviolet Extinction in the Galaxy''

The authors use short- and long-wavelength pairs of IUE low-dispersion spectra (plus six OAO-2 spectra of bright comparison stars for completeness) to derive 115 extinction curves, which are made available on a microfiche supplied with the article. Areas of the sky covered include dense clouds such as the Carina, Orion, and $\rho$ Ophiuchi complexes, local and adjacent spiral arms, and other more distant spiral features. Six extinction curves for stars which are part of OB associations appear in the body of the article.

``The Ultraviolet Spectrum of Noncoronal Late-Type Stars: The Gamma Crucis (M3.4 III) Reference Spectrum''

This work is a guide to the ultraviolet spectrum of M-type giants and supergiants whose outer atmospheres contain warm chromospheres but not coronae. It is to be used in planning high-dispersion observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and as an aid in the analysis of IUE data. The authors have made line identifications and integrated line flux measurements of chromospheric emission features seen in the 1200-3200 Å range of IUE spectra. They discuss major fluorescence processes and identify absorption features which can be used as photospheric radial velocity indicators. Four spectra, one low- and one high-dispersion each from the SWP and LWR cameras, were chosen. The 1200-2700 Å region of the SWP high-dispersion image and the 2435-2485 Å region of the LWR high-dispersion image are plotted with spectral features marked. These features are listed in a table along with their FWHM, peak flux, and net integrated line flux. The two low-dispersion images are also shown, with major emission features labeled.

``International Ultraviolet Explorer Observations of Stars in 30 Doradus: Extinction and Stellar Continua''

This article describes the authors' study of ultraviolet extinction in and near the core of the 30 Doradus nebula. Low-dispersion SWP and LWR spectra of nine reddened stars within 80 parsecs of the core and eight unreddened stars from other locations in the LMC were used to derive plots of log flux versus wavelength (1200-3200 Å). Various extinction curves are also illustrated.

IUE observations of eight dwarf novae at various stages of their outburst cycles are combined with optical and infrared data to provide a continuum flux distribution from 0.12 to 3.5 microns. IUE measurements were made with the SWP and LWR cameras in low-dispersion mode. Plots are of the form magnitude vs. wavelength (1200-3200 Å).

``Z Camelopardalis: Outburst P Cygni Profiles and Quiescent Continuum''

This article is an orbital study of C IV P Cygni profiles in the dwarf nova Z Cam. The authors compare parameters of the line components as a function of phase and discuss the continuum flux distribution during standstill, decline, and quiescence. They give a summary of SWP, LWP, and LWR low-resolution observations at each phase and plot flux vs. $\lambda$(1450-1650 Å) at six phases. Short- and long-wavelength images are joined for five different dates of observation to show representative 1150-3200 Å spectra at standstill, decline, and quiescence.

``Ultraviolet Observations of Cataclysmic Variables: The IUE Archive''

The author presents a comparative study of the ultraviolet properties of cataclysmic variables of several types, using SWP and LWR or LWP image pairs of each object. Reddening and the nature of the spectral flux distribution are among the topics examined. The systems selected have orbital periods between eighty minutes and 0.5 days and contain accretion disks. Plots include log(flux) versus log($\lambda$), where the flux is averaged in bins 80 Å wide, centered on 1460, 1800, 2140, and 2880 Å.

International Ultraviolet Explorer Atlas of O-Type Spectra from 1200 to 1900 Å

This atlas employs SWP high-dispersion spectra of ninety-eight O stars and is arranged in twenty-two montages of four or five spectra each. It is divided into three sections: an overview of main sequence O3-B1 stars plus luminosity sequences at O6.5 and O9.5; a sample of normal spectra, organized into restricted spectral type ranges at fixed luminosity classes, and peculiar spectra, including weak winds, N-enhanced stars, peculiar giants/supergiants, and WN-A stars. Plots are in the form of flux versus wavelength in the range 1200-1900 Å. There is also a table of principal interstellar lines.

``Spectrophotometry of Two Complete Samples of Flat Radio Spectrum Quasars''

Most of this article concerns spectrophotometry of flat radio spectrum quasars brighter than magnitude 2.0. The authors looked for correlations between the equivalent width of the C IV $\lambda$1550 emission line and the luminosity of the underlying continuum. Five low-z quasars were observed with the IUE SWP or LWR cameras at low dispersion. The spectra are shown as flux vs. $\lambda$ from 1200 to 2000 Å for two quasars and from 2000 to 3000 Å for three quasars.
