Description

The O7 n star HD 217086 which provides the ionization of the H II region S 155 A and is the brightest member of the Cep OB 3 association, has been observed in the ultraviolet with IUE. From an analysis of the UV spectra the authors determine a terminal velocity of 3560 +- 100 km s-1 and a mass loss rate of (4.2 (+2.8, -1.7)) x 10-7 solar masses yr-1. A comparison is made with the stars of similar spectral type. (Auth.)
