Observations of active galactic nuclei with IUE and comparison with X-ray data
Abstract
The properties of the ultraviolet continuum in active nuclei and its relation to the X-ray continuum are discussed. The IUE observations of BL Lac objects and Seyfert 1 galaxies are reviewed. The observational status of the study of the ultraviolet absorption lines is presented.
