Mass flow analysis of the ultraviolet spectrum of UW Canis MajorisThe ultraviolet spectrum of the close binary UW CMa, obtained with the Copernicus (OAO-3) and IUE satellites in the wavelength region from 1010 to 1510 A and from 1200 to 3000 A, respectively, is analyzed. The observed P Cygni line profiles are compared with theoretically predicted profiles formed by isotropic and coherent scattering in a spherically symmetric expanding circumstellar envelope. Tables illustrate the identified stellar lines, laboratory wavelengths, and line strengths in terms of peak height for emission or central depth for absorption components, normalized to the local stellar continuum.
