Direct UV observations of the circumstellar envelope of α Orionis
- 1. Colorado Univ., Boulder (USA)

Description
α Orionis is a red supergiant star with significant mass loss (∼ 10-6 solar mass yr-1). It is known from optical and infrared observations to possess an extended, arc-minute sized, shell of cool material. Attempts to observe this shell with the IUE are described, although the deconvolution of the stellar signal from the telescope scattered light will require further calibration effort
