Scientific paper

Results are reported for a search for EUV radiation between 140 and 430 A from selected objects which was conducted with a rocket-borne EUV filter photometer. The candidate objects included the bright planetary nebula NGC 2392 and the stars gamma Gem, alpha CMa, omicron-prime CMa, and gamma-2 Vel. Upper limits (2-sigma level) to the flux near 200 A are determined for the five objects, and estimates of the expected 200-A helium-continuum flux are derived for two of the stars on the basis of the hot-corona model. It is found that the calculated upper limits are at least two orders of magnitude higher than plausible flux estimates based on the hot-corona model. However, it is noted that uncertainties in the flux estimates are great enough to make the upper limits useful.
