Scientific paper

An atlas is presented which provides a uniformly extracted and calibrated set of over 1000 UV spectra of the highest possible SNR for quasars and blazars observed with the IUE. The spectra show that quasars and blazars vary more in the UV than in the optical, and show increasing variability toward shorter wavelengths. The low-redshift quasars have Ly-alpha emission lines dominated by strong, narrow components, while high-redshift quasars seem to lack such narrow components. Absorption by gas in the Galaxy is ubiquitous in strong interstellar lines of C II, O I, Si II, Mg II, and Fe II. Of special note is the detection of Fe II and Mg II absorption due to gas associated with NGC3067 in the quasar 3C 232. Over 20 percent of the combined quasar and Seyfert 1 sample show either associated absorption or absorption just shortward of the emission redshift.
