Ultraviolet spectra of some bright later type Be stars and A-F shell stars

Anomalous ionization (C IV and Si IV is seen in IUE spectra of Be stars as late as B8, and occurs also in standard stars of similar spectral type. Asymmetrical lines suggesting mass loass are present in all the Be stars and several of the standard stars as well, with no obvious correlation with v sin i. Emission shoulders are present in the Mg II lines of two B5e stars but not in Be stars of later type. No correlation is found with v sin i. The A-F shell stars show rich Fe iI absorption spectra in the ultraviolet, in one case with velocity structure.
