Abstract

The ultraviolet spectra of B stars obtained with the sky scan telescope in the TD1 satellite have been used to obtain narrow-band magnitudes at several wavelengths. These photometric bands have an effective half-width of 100 Å. We have proposed a two-dimensional classification scheme based on ultraviolet colours, and some preliminary results are presented.
