C IV resonance line profiles in O stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The S-019 experiment on Skylab (cf. Henize et al. 1975; “Paper I”) recorded far UV spectra in about 160 4° x 5° fields, covering 10% of the sky, on 101 film with a 15 cm aperture objective-prism telescope. Several hundred early-type stars were observed in the vicinity of 1550 Å with a resolution between 3 and 4 Å, as well as thousands of stars at longer wavelengths and correspondingly lower resolution. An atlas of spectra for types 04 to B5 is illustrated in Paper I. That figure shows that the P Cygni profile is a characteristic of all supergiants earlier than B3 and main sequence stars earlier than 08.
