Scientific paper

We report on analysis of UV spectra of the DBV GD 358 obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We confirm the detection of He II (1640 Å) and C II (1335 Å) reported by Sion et al. in 1988. The He II feature indicates a temperature of 27000±1000 K, somewhat higher than previous estimates. We derive a carbon abundance -5.75
