Ultraviolet Spectra of Two Magnetic White Dwarfs and Ultraviolet Spectra of Subluminous Objects Found in the Kiso Schmidt SurveyLow resolution International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectroscopic observations of two magnetic white dwarfs BPM25114 and K813-14 were obtained using both the SWP and LWP cameras. The first object has an observed magnetic field of 4 x 10(7) Gauss and the second has one of 3 x 10(7) Gauss. Both objects have overall spectral energy distributions appropriate for cool DA white dwarfs with T(eff) near 10,000 K and accordingly show strong lambda lambda 1400 and 1600 absorption in their spectra. Compared to non-magnetic DA white dwarfs of comparable effective temperature, there are some differences in the profiles, presumably produced by the magnetic fields in these objects. In addition, the ultraviolet spectra of a number of hot subluminous stars in the Kiso Schmidt survey were observed.
