Description:
FUV (115-200-nm) observations of Beta Cas, obtained at resolutions 5 and 0.15 A by the IUE during September 1984, are reported and analyzed. The data are presented graphically and compared with results for Procyon, a sharp-lined F star similar in temperature to Beta Cas. A sharp factor-of-two increase in H I Ly-alpha flux on a time scale comparable to its Delta Sct pulsation period was observed, but the data were insufficient to determine whether the increase was flarelike or pulsation-related. The outer edges of the Beta Cas emission are shown to be significantly wider than those of Procyon.
