The central star of NGC 7009 (HD 200516) was observed with the FUSE satellite, covering 905-1187 Å at a spectral resolution of 15 km/s. The observed stellar wind lines are O VI 1032, S VI 933-44 and Ne VII 973 (FUSE), plus N V 1240 and O V 1371 (IUE). C IV 1550 and P V 1118-28 are absent, indicating that the wind is very highly ionized. The mass loss rate is estimated as ˜10-7 Msunyr and the terminal velocity 2450 km/s. Preliminary analysis of the stellar spectrum identifies several strong lines of F VI, Fe VI, Fe VII and Ni IV.
