Scientific paper

Copernicus UV data are used to examine the rich shell absorption spectra between 1120 and 1140 A in 17 Be and shell stars. Previous observations of the program stars are reviewed, the general appearance of the shell spectra between 1120 and 1140 A is described, and the shell spectra are compared with the spectra of four bright B-type supergiants in the same wavelength region. The line strengths are analyzed to determine quantitative shell strengths and shell column densities; the shell line velocities are discussed in the context of different models. It is shown that UV shell lines can exist in stars with no visible-wavelength shell features, that Fe III shell lines dominate the spectra between 1120 and 1140 A in Be and shell stars with circumstellar absorption features, and that the spectra of Be and shell stars in this region strongly resemble those of supergiants of similar effective temperature.
