Five early B-type stars near the main-sequence turnoff in NGC 457 have been observed at low dispersion with the short-wavelength prime and the long-wavelength redundant cameras of the IUE satellite. The equivalent widths of spectral features that are particularly strong and sensitive to temperature and luminosity were computed in the cluster stars and in 20 lightly reddened stars of types O9-B3 and luminosity classes III-V. The comparison of the equivalent widths provides a reliable method for finding matching pairs. Having identified the best comparison star for each program star, binned fluxes were used to determine the mean extinction curve. In order to cover the visible region, monochromatic fluxes of Phi Cas were derived from observations with the intensified Reticon scanner mounted on the No. 2 0.9 m telescope of KPNO, and they were dereddened with the mean extinction curve of Savage and Mathis. Thus, the intrinsic energy distribution of Phi Cas were determined from 1500 to 5800 A for use in a detailed model-atmosphere analysis.
