The ultraviolet spectrum of the planetary nebula NGC 2371 and its exciting star.
Abstract
Low resolution IUE spectra have been taken of the planetary nebula NGC 2371. Some were centered on the exciting star while other spectra measure only nebula emission. We discuss the nebula line and continuum spectrum in terms of the physical state of the nebula gas and its abundance. The stellar spectrum yields information on the atmospheric temperature and mass loss rate.
