IUE observations of the low-excitation planetary nebula Tc-1.

Ultraviolet observations of Tc-1 confirm that the object is a low excitation planetary nebula with a central star of type O7. The nebular spectrum has few emission lines and the P Cygni character of the C IV line remains uncertain. A radial velocity of -95 km/s is found from the semiforbidden C III wavelength 1909 line, and an extinction of 0.22 m from the wavelength 2200 absorption feature.
