Scientific paper

The scattered light intensity measured in May 1986 in the IUE telescope near eta UMa over radial distances between 15" and 120" is presented. The scattering profile of the IUE follows a power law with exponent -2.1 for r greater than 40" and is steeper between 10" and 40". The fraction of starlight scattered decreases smoothly by a factor 3 from 1300 to 2900A. About 10% of the target light is scattered to outside the IUE large aperture and also 10% is scattered over the 40 pixels inside the large aperture.
