Scientific paper

Results are presented for analysis of UV spectra of Rho Leo (B1 Iab) and Eta Ori (B0.5 Ia) obtained over the wavelength range from 955.0 to 1435.5 A by the OAO-3 satellite. More than 200 lines of stellar, shell, and interstellar origin are identified in this spectral region. Shell expansion velocities of the order of 1000 km/s are derived from the Si IV and N V resonance doublets. The column densities of absorbing atoms are computed along with the electron densities and the color temperatures in the Lyman continuum region. Mass-loss rates are estimated from the observed shell expansion velocities, yielding (5 to 8) ten-millionths of a solar mass per year for Rho Leo and (9 to 30) ten-millionths of a solar mass per year for Eta Ori.
