Validity of the classification of UV gallium stars

Description

Line intensities of Ga II at 1414 A and Ga III at 1495 A are surveyed on high-dispersion IUE spectra of seven stars classified as UV gallium stars on low-dispersion IUE spectra. The Ga II line intensity in HD 124224 is found to be weaker in all 11 high-dispersion spectra than that expexted from the spectral classification criteria. The remaining six stars show the strong Ga II line consistent with the classification criteria. A cross-check with the help of high-dispersion spectra must be effective in classification based on low-dispersion spectra
